Oops!! I'm late, I'm late, I promised you pictures of the plants Anne sent from the second Acorn Auction, and now that they are settled and mostly happy, here they are, still in pots and I think it's best to leave them there for awhile.
I'm so excited about the elephant ears, so I'll show them first. Here's 'Coffee Cups', love this!
Mojito
And my most favorite of all Illustris:
Double tuberose 'The Pearl' and Pineapple Lily which is getting ready to bloom!! Yes!!!
Rain Lily and Chinese Cucumber
Confederate Rose and Ornamental sweet potato behind Persian Shield with my own coleus cutting in between
Datura, night blooming bush
AND . . . the Moon vine, a large white night bloomer growing up a long dead ficus tree that is decorated with lights during Christmas and now with a moon vine and more pale blue morning glories for summer. Neither the moon vine nor the MGs have bloomed yet, but any day now. I loved the old ficus but it had grown to 10' tall and was so too big. I took a cutting from it and now have another that is merely 3 feet tall, so the old ficus still serves a purpose.
So that leaves the 4 o'clocks which are out in the yard and I missed them with the camera but they are fine; the little Pitcher's Leather Flower Clematis which might not be doing very well, but we'll see. It's also in the garden beside my gloriosas, so I didn't get its picture either. And we aren't going to talk about the Hoya. Yet. Maybe later, or maybe not. We haven't decided whether or not we will be friends.
And that's about it. So far, so good with all the rest of them. They are beautiful and most obviously have grown like they love it here. I surely do love them!!
Thanks Anne. I'll share the blooms when they get here too, and one of the pineapple lilies will be blooming in a day or two.
