Noid Hibiscus paramutabilis

WOW!!! That is stunning, Jay.

I'm enjoying seeing all the summer blooms! I bought some BIG pots and planted them with various things I found in my garden. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to maintain them through the hotter weather we're bound to have....but at the moment, they look great! Just can't walk on the patio and have lots of smaller pots waiting to be put away. Every time I take a photo of the pots, I notice the background is filled with a hose, empty pots, trash bags, etc. Doesn't appear very photogenic...

We will just see the plants and blooms. I have hoses and all kinds of stuff in the background,
Where did you get the big pots @Bubbles? Inquiring minds want to know,
I finally found someone to help plant at the other place and emptied 49 pots this time so I can bump a lot up and dig up some and take those over. Whew, be glad when it is this time next year,

It's watering day this morning. We've been given a second day to water. I have lots of plumerias that are taking up space and not blooming. I'm going to have to get tough with 'em. Going to give them a month.
@froggardener The large pots came from Home Depot and Costco. Some were carried over from last year too.

@needrain The plant at the very bottom of the photo is a different kind of Euphorbia tirucalli. It's miniature, stays small. The light green one turns red in spring'



This big one never turns red at the top. It just lopes along with no care and little water.

One pot that helps to hide the rain tank, view from garden.



Same pot, view from patio.

Great succulents, Sandy. I have one of those that turns red but have no idea what it's called. Your Big Guy is impressive!

@GrammaChar Thanks! The sap is poisonus, but I've never had any ill effects.

... I follow a few forums but cannot read every post - I usually hit the subject - click First Unread - scroll down and click back into that forum and go to the next post (just to keep things clear - Yes I am OCD or CDO)

But sometimes ya just gotta go back and read a few post prior ESPECIALLY when you click First Unread and you see Sandi post

I haven't either. But then, I didn't drink it!

Just did a quick tour of the yard to add to this "What's Blooming" thread.
Lots of things are responding to the rain and sunshine.
Makes me and all the critters very happy.

@PlantMania...That's too funny! I'll remember it when I want to get someone's attention on a forum!

@GrammaChar The sap burns your skin. Usually happens when moving one, or taking a cutting. It's really dangerous if it gets in the eyes.

@GrammaChar Those are lovely photos. Hope you're going to add them to the database.

@Bubbles, I can't wait to have shade! I love all of your tropicals......gorgeous!

I'll be careful around the succulent sap.
Thanks for the reminder about the database.

@froggardener Thanks!

Grammachar, those are great pix. I miss a lot of posts because I have to restart for things to change.
