Stunning photos! I love to spend evenings out in the garden, thanks for letting me visit yours. You all have such beautiful plants, here are a few more from N. Carolina: Hedychium coronarium, Butterfly Ginger Dichorisandra thrysiflora, so called "Blue Ginger" An Amaryllis, taken back in the spring, And one of my very favorite night-blooming flowers, Epiphyllum oxypetalum, "Queen of the Night" - I thought this pic was cool because it turned out to have a sort of an under-the-sea look about it.
