I decided I liked this plant with all its warts exposed. These ladies grow in profusion from large round black seeds hard enough to go through wood that were once used successfully as shot when troops ran out of ammunition. The next year the battlefield was covered in India Shot Lilies, thus giving them their name. What nature does with what we do to it…amazing. (Also called edible cannas.)

This arete plant is holding on. It has been blooming for more than a month. Love it. You can increase the size of the photos by clicking on them.

This jungle forms a privacy wall between my neighbor and me. Good fences make good neighbors! We love conversing back and forth over this one. If I’m in my gazebo and they’re on their high balcony porch, we can see each other, but I can still skinny dip in perfect privacy.

This is one of the oldest hibiscus bushes in my garden–probably about 18 or 19 years old. I don’t think it’s ever been without 3 or 4 blooms in that entire time. Thanks for your daily gift, old friend!

I’ve been getting a bloom a day on this new hibiscus. Today it looks like mother and child. Click on photos to enlarge views.
One of my new hibiscus plants seems to like its new location. Although the plant is small and only a week old, it has already produce four blooms. These twins popped out the day before yesterday and look at all the buds that are getting ready to produce more blooms! They are the size of my hand with the fingers completely spread out.

The hummingbirds love these blooms once they open up.

This is the other new hibiscus I bought a few days ago, but must admit I bought one yesterday as well. My vivero has started raising some new varieties and putting them out on the street when their flowers are at their height and who can resist? Not me.
