    I'm so glad your friend gave you another Lantana Glenda but it still rankles that someone had the audacity to steal the first one!! :-x
    Your Apricot Sparkle is well named as it certainly shines out with its lovely soft colouring. Sunflowers seem to love to grow for you but here it's a bit 'hit and miss' whether they do well or not as the weather can be so bad.
    Thank you for taking the time to let us see all your wonderful plants and flowers. :stew2:

    Your blooms are lovely. I really despise plant thieves! So glad you could replace your lantana.

    Beautiful Sparkle...full of blooms and I can almost smell the Gardenia. Thanks for taking us on your walk. I'm sure little Oreo enjoys his walks with his mommie! :p

    It is so nice to see your flowers, Glenda. One gets such a nice feeling when he sees them.
    It looks very summery there already.
