    Sure would like to see some sunshine today. The rain is starting to create garden problems. Things are starting to rot from all the rain. Took these before more heavy rain comes and ruins the flowers.

    Wonderful shots Donna. You're garden is beautiful and I just hope that the rain tails off so that your plants can keep healthy for you.

    It is looking so lush.:like: I'd trade you weather. You must be where the jet stream took our weather. We are having another 90F plus day and it is dry, dry, dry. Not good for a rainforest.

    Hang in there, and think of all the summer watering you do not have to do.:stew1:

    Toni, It's a stutgart Canna. I found it at Brent and Becky's bulbs. I sure hope I can over winter it and it produces lots more.

    What a gorgeous garden! I especially like the fence gardens with the mirror and the one of the flag stone walkway. Lots of color but also restful. I'm glad the rain didn't do damage.

    A lovely garden Donna,

    What is the big shrub in the first Pic, sort of a background shrub?

    Kate, If your looking at the one with purple flowers it's a crepe myrtle. Here's a pic of a rose colored one in my front yard.

    Lovely gardens Donna. We've been getting quite a bit of rain too. My tomatoes are starting to split before they can even turn color.

    Thanks Ginny. Same with my tom's. I hope things turn around soon or this years veggie gardens will be a waste of time and money.
