Thanks Gigi. Ann, our posts crossed, I think I'll wait until the fall to pursue the daylilies, too much growing right now and not the best time to plant them here. By then I'll have some more names of the good ones for Florida from you, right?

Unfortunately, my nice big Begonia Odorata alba has some unwelcome guests. New pest to Florida this last year or two, spiraling whitefly. They are bigger and slower than regular whiteflies, and pretty easy to get rid of, luckily.

My tall brugmansia inside the pool cage has another flush of flowers starting. They are pure white when they first unfurl, then the pink color suffuses in very quickly. I took this picture about an hour ago, and already the white ones are turning pink.

Heliconia 'Lady Di' is much happier since we got some rain. Cat whiskers are starting to bloom in the same bed.
