things are a bloomin'



One of the two--yes only two of about 100 bulbs I planted--gladioli in the gardens




Did I mention we have black-eyed susans, and two clumps of really tall yellow-eyed susans?




What is a garden without coneflowers?




This year's sunflowers--both from seeds from last year's crop, which came from the one seed dropped by a bird the year before...note there are now two varieties?




All varieties of hybiscus...which are clearly following directions:




hybiscus, multiplying and replenishing the earth, if you need a start...



The food crops are producing--yummy, sweet, juicy, warm tomatoes every day.



Even the spent blossoms are glorious.

I'll take a hibiscus or two! Mine were killed by the weed sprayer guy. :(

Looking beautiful. And I meant to mention your gladiolas while we were there on Sunday--very pretty.
