    You've certainly got lots of colour around your home. :D They're all lovely, but I particularly like the Hibiscus.

    You have lots of hot colours around you at the moment - ideal for summer in the garden. :-D

    I love the Lily of the Nile.
    I've been watching one near my office to "steal" some seeds. The plant went to seed over a month ago. Do they normally take a long time before they're ready for harvest? And how do you know when they're ready?

    Fantastic shots WTxDaddy! I love 'em all! Your Impatiens are doing well (I'm still trying to find out what is wrong with mine). I love the very first shot...which Echinacea is it?

    Oooh, all kinds of stuff! Must make you smile walking through the garden for sure. I especially like the Daisy :-D combined with Black-Eyed Susan (at least looks like it to me). (That's the State flower of Maryland, by the way).

    The princess is doing quite well, graduated from Kindergarten in May, pulled her 7th tooth herself the last week of school, then pulled the 8th herself while visiting cousins in Dallas. She looks like a Jack-o-lantern! At age 6, she is ahead of the curve in dental stuff, but that's just the way it goes.

    I knew the black-eyed susan was Maryland's state flower. When I was a little kid, my dad was stationed in D.C. & we lived in Maryland for a short time. Virginia too.
