    Hello Glenda,

    Wow! That's quite a Passion Flower vine! Is it all one plant that has grown that large, or did you plant several all over your property?
    I have a "Hardy Blue" Passion Flower vine I got this year and I love them!
    Your little helper is so adorable!
    Here's a pic of our Passion Flower...

    Awww, cute Dusty. :D I love your blooms. It's so funny to see a passion flower vine growing wild outside like yours. Not even our clematis takes off like that in this climate. :D

    Ahhh now that's what I've been missing - photographs of your garden Glenda!! You still have so much colour around you and I particularly like the plumbago and passion flower. Best of all though is your little gray helper Dusty - isn't he just adorable? :D

    I'm like Eileen---I have missed your pictures. It looks like you have a ....passion for flowers. ;)
    Those things really do well there, don't they?
    Well, apart from them your other flowers seem to be thriving as well, in spite of the dryness.
    The other flowers are also looking good, especially the Mandevilla and the sunflower with that big swallowtail on it.
    Finally, your cute little helper really does take the prize. It just oozes mischieviness.

    Well Glenda--it looks like you are well and truly back. I'm so glad. :D

    Sweet kitty. Your flowers are doing well for the heat you're having, Glendann. How do you keep them growing in 100 degree weather?

    I am sorry to say I've lost quite a few plants.I lost my 2 big Azealias,
    I have lots of plants that never bloomed and lots of my bulbs didn't even come up.The onces I showed are just about what I have left.My burgmania's are hanging on but never bloomed and my white night blooming Daturas are trying to make a come back.I watered and watered but it didn't help much.

    I'm so sorry Glendann. The fact that you have those plants and blooming shows that you really work on your garden. Do you have any Mexican plants that might stand up to the heat and sun? Hope the weather breaks for you.
