Lovely pictures, Ursula. Is the yellow snapdragon a perennial up there? I planted something similar at my daughter's house and never saw it bloom. Very pretty!

My garden is completely overgrown, so I have to bushwhack my way around to get pictures. Going to work on it tomorrow with my garden helper (hope he shows up!).

Heliconia 'Lady Di' loves all the water it's been getting. Blooming and spreading like crazy around a big oak tree beside the driveway!

Clerodendron paniculatum with flower heads so big the plant is falling over. Pink salvia seeds itself everywhere. Love the delicate flowers on Cat's Whiskers

This is Coffee Cups colocasia, and collects water in the leaves like cups, then tips it out when they get full. It's fun to watch. The variegated costus makes nearly all-white leaves in this rainy, cloudy weather.

White spiral ginger leaves a nice red calyx after it finishes blooming. It's also putting up new stems and blooming again.
