    The oxalis is ever blooming I think. It has been blooming since we came here.

    The lilies just keep on blooming

    and the morning glories are climbing the porch and the fence. Some are about a foot up the fence. But ONE could not wait to climb.

    It just had to bloom. I'm glad I happened along to see it. I think the rain yesterday almost did it in before I found it.

    Excuse me for asking, but didn't you just sow those morning glories?

    I put them in the ground when I made the long flower bed so it's been about a month, I would guess. dooley

    A month! My little morning glory plantlets are about 6 weeks old and have only about 3 sets of true leaves!! They will get out into the fresh air once we are home from our hols, but even so, I won't expect flowers until July time.

    Yet again, those lillies are BREATHTAKING!

    Dooley the Oxalis are beautiful. Love the Lillies. It does seem like only yesterday that you planted the morning glories. Maybe it is the Texas soil! :D

    Gee how I wish morning glories would grow as fast as yours do here in Scotland!! Amazing that they're only a month old. :eek: I really like your oxalis. They look especially good underneath the tree. I would love to have those glorious red lilies in my garden. :stew2:

    I love your lilies and the oxalis or really pretty and that morning glory is wonderful color.I think your watching mushroom compost at work.Its the best compost I ever used and dooley had some from the big vegetable garden behind her and some of mine.You can almost see plants grow in it.

    Well, those red lilies really do take the cake, but the Ipomoea is unbelieveably quick to flower. Beautiful and amazing, Dooley. You have got a green Texas thumb now, don't you?

    Wonderful blooms Dooley. I'm still in awe with those red lilies you have. I can't believe you already have a Morning Glory bloom...that was FAST!
