    Golly, I love your diversity of plants! :D I think I could hop around your place and smell, feel and gaze at all your colourful blooms for days. That yellow Passiflora is so beautiful. I've actually tried to sow Reseda but if we get a cold summer it won't bloom. I can grow some of your plants outside here, like the lily and Hemerocallis. Wish I could grow a pomegrenade, that would be nice. :D

    Hi Theo,
    more beauties,..i like that Nepenthes alata,..it reminds me of Gaillardia pulchella,'Indian Blanket Flower'.

    How do you manage to maintain all your plants,..between watering and maintaining them it must take a lot of time.

    five months working a few hours but the remaining months or hours of work is increasing, now the summer I work from morning 5 ¨ 00 until afternoon 16 ¨ 00,, the island where I live is a tourist destination, thousands of tourists from around the world come every year, has fantastic beaches, and too much sun .....................
    after work at the hotel, rest for half an hour,and after several hours I work in the garden and plants, water, plant and repot :-D calms my soul and my body when I am among plants :-D :-D can you laugh now, but this is the truth :-D :-D
    now that schools are closed, my children are free, but also my wife is free, who are teachers, will go after my job for a few hours in the sea for swimming :-

    Oooh, that Passiflora is gorgeous! I've only seen it in photos but would really like to see it in real life. We like the Greek islands and usually visit Greece every other year. Which island did you say you live on? *batting eyelids*

    I can relate to gardening as a relaxing hobby after a day's work. You need to recharge, and I also do that in the garden.

    What a lovely display you're showing today. :D The irish bells are something else. The daylilies, ipomoea and Impatiens are so colourful, and that passion flower's so delicate! I can't pick a favorite, they're all lovely.

    Lovely colours, and I can imagine the scent from the Lantana, basil and Salvia. :D

    I wondered where you kept all your plants, and I can see that you utilize every bit of space you've got. :stew2: Your house looks very inviting.
