Gorgeous! I love the Cassia blooms!

Thanks guys. I was playing with the photography, trying to improve my pictures. It was difficult because the plants are right in the sun and it was hard to get the dark background. One more arm would really help.

Jim

Lookin good in yellowland!

The Amorphophallas alert is going up daily. I'm thinking three big blooms this year. Here is a look at the latest.


Bougainvillea aborea in the sun light.

Beautiful Jim! Well maybe not the Amorphophallas...that's just strange and weird..and stinky!
Mine has not made an appearance yet, I'm beginning to think its died.

Lindsey, if it smells this bad when it's alive, imagine the smell if it is dead and rotting!

Jim

It might smell better, Jim! Was the alert you mentioned above for your neighbors, so they don't think you're harboring dead bodies?

That is a really cool looking one, though. Looks like it's made of granite. I'm glad to see a picture of it, rather than meet it in person.

Here's the second flower on the Worm Killer - it has no scent . . .


and a big umbel of fragrant begonias


Can't resist the blazing cannas with the sun on them!

Jim, how is big stinky coming along today?

Elaine, just beautiful!!!

Very pretty, Elaine and Janice!
Jim, good looking Amorphophallus! Mine is now done blooming/smelling.

Lots of plants are waking up in my "extended garden". I always look forwards to the Trilliums which are now in full bloom in NE Pennsylvania.


And there is the Goodyera pubescens which I had planted years ago. Good looking leaves, I hope it will bloom this year.

Lovely, Ursula!! Trilliums are one of my favorites!

Life is good when we have trilliums out! (here too)

I started a new thread for May at: The thread "Show Us Your Garden 23, May 2012" in Orchids forum
