    Oh that daylily is a real beauty Glenda - I've never seen one quite that colour before.
    You have soooo many buds on your cactus. How I wish I could grow them in my garden here.
    I forgot to sow sunflowers this year :( and it's strange how much you miss them in the garden.
    Love the colour of your hibiscus and so pleased to see that your amaryllis is still blooming for you. :stew1:

    You have very interesting plants growing in your garden. I can see you have a big mimosa tree in the background too.

    The Daylily and the sunflower are quite nice. The Hybiscus is too. I do like a good, red Hybiscus.
    You sure do have some interesting plants in bloom at the moment. I enjoy seeing your plants so much, Glenda.

    Glenda, everything looks wonderful. Is your passion vine blooming yet. That is a great picture of the daylily. I love that one, it makes me smile when I see it. It should form a really nice clump by next year and give you loads of blooms.

    Your blooms are lovely. :D Those daylilies of yours are beautiful, and so is the amaryllis. Your hibiscus looks big to me. I like sunflowers a lot, but also forgot about them this year. I shall have to find something bright and cheerful to plant instead.

    The Hibiscus is my cousin Shirly's in Houston but I got cuttings from it.My sunflowers come up every year from the seeds the birds leave.
    Thank you all for the great comments

    I love them all, but have to say my favorite is the Apricot Sparkle. Such a dainty and beautiful color. Thanks for sharing some of your flowers. :stew1:
