Let me start out by saying that the wine is especially sweet tonight and thet I miss Janice. I hope she chimes in at some point.
I took a walk about after the rain that lasted most of the morning and into the early afternoon. I am back to soggy as the descriptoive word of the day. I received this Abutilon 'Souvenir de Bonn', or flowering maple as most call it here, at a MG plant swap. I don't think I have shown it before.
The agapanthus continues to bloom.
The tibouchina is beyond discription.
This is a red fire spike.
The cherries jubilee allamanda is about to take over the rose garden.
This is a bird of paradise plant. I have four of them.
I just may OD on papaya.
Argentine pampas grass.
Rose of Sharon and Jacobenia from the tropical garden.
The sticky picky garden.
And on a sad note, can you believe the mealy bug infestation I found on this Spanish dagger plant? I promise you there will be a long line into mealy bug heaven tomorrow.
