    Gosh you have so much colour still around in your garden Glenda. Sadly most of mine has died back now that autumn is here. I really like your Burgmansia and passion flowers. :-D

    Looking good, Glenda......what weeds??! :)
    That carrion bloom looks like a starfish for the sea to me. I gather that it's fragrance is not too sweet, eh?

    The Burgmancias and Passion flowers are really looking supurb.
    Every time that I see one of these or the Datura, I always thing back to a book that I once read by Carlos Casteneda. I think the book was called, The Teachings of Don Juan, or something like that.
    He rubbed some polstace of datura, water and sand into his skin to hallucinate. Ir was a most curious book.

    The "I forgot the name" plant has such delicate flowers with a lovely colour.

    Thanks so much for showing these pics. I enjoyed them alot.

    You sure have some wonderful blooms in your yard Glenda...what I would do to have a Passion Flower like yours! I'm still waiting for my Brugmansia to bloom. I had to bring it indoors because of the weather so I'm hoping all those buds will still open. The Carrion flower is most interesting too.
    I think your unknown bloom is a Sedum :)

    Thank you all so much.I have Passion Flower blooms all over the yard and all over the cedar tree.My yard smells heavenly.I do have more blooms but I forgot to post them.My Mexican Petunias are blooming all over and my Crepe Myrtles are too.
    Sjoerd the carrion plant bloomed last year when Ike came through and it had never bloomed before and I didn't know what it was until Cajunbelle Ided it for me but it had no smell inside the house but outside it has a light bad smell but not much.It is called a Star Fish Plant too.

    You have some wonderful blooms going on there. I'd have to agree with Netty I think your 'un named' plant is the Sedum. Thanks for sharing.

    You've got gorgeous color for an weedy garden. :D I can't see your weeds so you're probably the only one who can see them. I really enjoy seeing your carrion plant, it's very special.
