These innocent-looking flowers actually invade my entire yard! They grow fast and furious and cover everything. Lovely for awhile, but then they totally die back and dry out, the vines have to be pulled off to reveal all the underkill. Pasiano recently removed them from most places but left enough in this spot for the little rascals to come back. I love them, but not their final result.

These huge hibiscus just keep coming along. I love them and there are two or three new ones every day, just demanding attention.

Here is the state of the banana cluster for Cee’s FOTD. The flower was already shown HERE.
as a “What flower is this?” post. Two folks guessed immediately. Guess there are more banana growers in the world than simply me! The bananas are presently just 5 inches long. The red part of the flower is 10 inches. I think the fluffy part at the top of the flower is actually little aborted bananas. Is that as much as you wanted to hear about bananas today? I’m fascinated, looking forward to another crop as there wasn’t one last year and bananas mean banana bread. And calories. Hmmm.
This was a surprise find in my garden the other day. I know what it is. Do you? I’ll tell after five guesses!!!! It is huge, by the way. At least a foot long. Actually, the second two people guessed correctly. It is a banana bloom! I’m going to have bananas this year!!!
For Cee’s FOTD. See her beautiful echinacea HERE.
