Ooh, love that white begonia in your opening picture, Danita. I have a bunch of the Rex type, most not blooming just yet but those tuberous ones just can't take the relentless humidity here. They never make it through the summer.
I don't count in the "first tomato" race because I'm nearly picking my last tomatoes now. They peter out here once the nights get warm. I keep them going right through the winter, though. My mangoes will be ripe in another couple of weeks! Oh, and I have peppers that have been bearing steadily since November:
My daylilies are nearly a month late this year maybe it's because winter never arrived until after Christmas so they never got a rest. Siloam Double Classic is a double peach and fragrant, Moonlit Masquerade is the gorgeous ivory/purple and the big orange one is a NOId. (my paw in there to show the size)
Billbergia 'Halleluja' and Agapanthus
Gloriosa lily and white Cordia boissieri
