    Walked around checking on the plants today and snapped some photos. Some of these are the last blooms hanging on... others are just loving our mild temps. Either way... here's my colors for Halloween.

    Thanks everyone.
    And thank you Theodoros for the IDs. I'll rename my photos now so I don't forget them in the future.

    Thanks Carolyn... the sap is supposed to make soapy lather in water and can be used as a soap substitute. I haven't tried it.

    Thanks Kiasmum... Some of the plants just have a few blooms left on them... so there's really not all that much left. But I guess a few is better than none, right? :stew2:
