    I spent the morning cleaning and reorganizing my bloom house then took a walk around to see what might be in bloom after the 1/2 inch of rain we had yesterday. I am still waiting on the widespread rain we are supposed to have today...I think the weather system didn't realize it was supposed to include us in travel plans.

    Grampa Ott Morning Glory, it had been misting so the pink spots are droplets of water.

    The Dragonwing Begonia is still really liking it's home.

    Turk's Cap is getting fuller each year, this is it's 3rd year.

    White Coneflower. I have three plants, only two have produced blooms, guess the 3rd one is waiting until next year. :rolleyes:

    Toni that morning glory is such a beautiful colour. I do sooo love blue flowers!! What an unusual, for me anyway, flower your Turks cap has and such a lovely bright shade of red too. :-D

    Your flowers are delightful, Toni. I love that morning glory. We can only grow them as annuals, since I'm so useless at overwintering plants. I guess the dragon loves his company? I think I can see his smile under that bridge.

    OMG--what lovely flowers! The dragon's wing and that bridge turned-out well didn't it? The Turks turban is an interesting plant. Tell me more about it.
    The morning glory is spectacularly beautiful...but the special effects make it even more fascinating. You are having great successes this year, aren't you?
