When Pasiano went to the vivero for more soil for my new pots, I asked him to choose two plants for the pots we’d put at the entrance to my house and to just surprise me. These are the plants he bought. Yolanda says the red and white one is an “aretes” plant, which means earrings–I guess because the red hangs down from the white.Through research, I’ve determined that the arete plant (actually, earrings of the queen) is a variety of fuchsia and the other plant is a hydrangea. Mystery solved. They are the only white flowers in my garden. A surprise that the Americano chooses all the bright colors and the Mexicano chose white, albeit with a little splash of blue or red in the center.

This is the second bloom on my new hibiscus. Heavy rains last night battered it a bit, but she’s still pretty perky! Love this new addition to my garden.

I just planted this hibiscus a little over a week ago and this is my first bloom. I think it is my new favorite. I planted another new one as well but can’t remember the color. I’ll share a photo when it blooms again as the original flower faded and fell off.
I have no idea what this flowering vine that covers the wall between my house and the street is. It is rather nonassuming in color and shape, but nonetheless fills a space.

Cee and I are on a hydrangea kick. This one is mine. See hers HERE.

Innocuous, fragile and sparse. I thought they were lovely close up.
