Just planted this zinnia near my hammock. Hope it works out better than the hibiscus we planted there a few months go.

FOTD Oct 12, 2020 Orange Hibiscus
This new hibiscus popped up and surprised me today. I almost forgot to take its picture, and by the time I did, it was twilight. I took several, hoping one would come out okay, but there were several I liked so sharing them all, even though the color isn’t quite right.

Succulent Planters: FOTD Oct 10, 2020
I’ve just raided the garden of my neighbors Brad and Dave (with their permission, and accompanied by their gardener) and filled in some spaces in these two little planters by my Studio. Those spaces, formerly occupied by interesting spiral seashells, were harvested by the dogs who removed them all and made an arrangement out of them on the lawn! Nope, not bones, boys, but it didn’t stop them from their larcenous ways.

This Moss rose needed some paler companions.
Thanks, Brad and Dave, for filling in the empty spaces!
What did you do, Morrie?

Hibiscus Bud and Bloom, FOTD Oct 9, 2020
Hard to believe that this is a bud from the same hibiscus plant that I published a photo of yesterday–that time a fully opened bloom. This is the picture of the bud I took yesterday.
Below is what this bud looks like today. Just a bit more unfurled and less yellow in the petals. perhaps because that yellow is just on the edges and now that it has unfurled a bit, less of it shows as it isn’t so tightly packed.
What a difference a day makes.
And below is yesterday’s hibiscus today. It is from the same plant as the bud above. Please click on first photo to enlarge all.
Once the petals are spread, they look nearly white. most of the color is on the back of the petals and only shows through when lit from behind. An intriguing flower.
