My Blue crown passion flower vine has 4 buds ,, I hope it doesn't bloom while I'm at work, the open blooms don't seem to last but about 8 hours or so.

it still hasn't bloomed Dodge But it's beginning to open! Both Peruvian lily's are blooming now,, and Bee's Jubilee, and jack mandii clematis make a nice pair blooming together! Pink roses are so heavy they are touching the ground, climbing red roses are making their way up the arch as they bloom, the other side the yellow roses are not climbing or fairing too well this year Hmmmmmm wonder why??

I wanted to share some of my outdoor "gifted" flowers that I have. Below is the lone remaining curly Hosta that Dodge sent me a while back. it sure looks pretty now though, doesn't it??? and there to the right is my little froggie from Lynne. I think I may need to paint it some this year. Below here is the white & purple Echinacea that Lynne sent me when she sent me the Autumn joy.

Thanks Barb, Thanks Tamara--soon you both will have your flowers & such popping up all over. a lot of mine are just beginning as well. Very pretty...mine haven't even poked through the ground yet.
I LOVE those pavers. Those are colored bricks that our relator's son sold us. the first bunch I used to edge the mulched area along the back of the house here, were free (I assume his mom paid him--it was her idea for me to use them there) Then when I extended the rocked area and I needed more of them I bought a bunch --- But thanks so much---I too love them.

Yes Tamara, peonies.
dodge, do you stake yours if you don't cut them. Some of these are so heavy they were laying over on the ground. Sad they don't don't bloom very long.
