    My parents spider lilies are taking over. They were blooming more a few weeks ago but they still look great.

    Rhipsalis ewaldiana, just got this today and I love it.

    Waiting for a few Cannas to get big enough to bloom also, along with seeds I haven't even planted yet. The wait is killing me.

    Thanks! I've got a wonderful enclosed back porch that most of my potted plants thrive in. Now I'm working on getting my plants to grow as well in the yard. I have high hopes especially for the spider lilies and cannas I've been putting out. We shall see.

    Love all of the Spider Lilies. And that little pond area with the Wandering Jew looks super refreshing!
    Great variety of succulents too.

    The little pond and and all the lilies are my parents house. I care for their gardens now that they're getting older, the spider lilies only require cutting back every few weeks though. I'm hoping the ones in my yard do just as well, I think it might take a yr at least for them to recover from the move to my house. They grow so well over there they're almost like weeds the way they spread.

    The little pond and fountain is a favorite place for everyone in that yard. It needs cleaning but there are some good sized goldfish in it.

    This is the front of their house, more humongous spider lilies, a beautiful canna that popped out up that's completely different from the small red cannas, and to the left is the biggest lantana I've ever come across.

    My Hawaiian blue eyes are finally blooming after two yrs of dissapointment. This yr I took it outside and planted it in my little garden.

    One of my modest attempts at a garden. Waiting for the cannas in back to grow bigger and bloom, right now the Cosmo seeds I threw in as an afterthought are dominating it lol.

    A different color Cosmo finally. I keep getting cast off Cosmo seed packets and so far most are orange. This was a lovely surprise to find this morning.

    And finally our resident garden spider having a nice breakfast.
