    Look at that gourd! :eek: Go, gourd, go!

    The hollyhock is lovely, and so's that Gladiolus. You have the loveliest volunteer. Your volunteer is takeing good care of the Impatiens. :D Has he got some unemployed friends?

    Enjoy your company, see you soon.

    Very pretty selection of blooms Donna. I'd like some help too - does your volunteer have any Canadian buddies that he could send over?

    Everything is looking so pretty in your garden. What is the botanical name of the Easter Egg tree? I don't think I have ever seen one before.

    Wow that Gourd grew rapidly,..congrats on that,..fantastic Hollyhocks,..the leaves on mine are huge,..sadly no blooms as yet.

    That Galadioli appears to have red Butterflies on weach bloom,..that's cute,.as for the Egg Plant,..i have never come across one in reality,..edible i do believe.

    Love that Gaillardia,..mine seem to have vanished this year, :-? ,...oh and a nice volunteer.

    They all look great, Donna. I love the volunteer, too. I am hoping to see some eggplant someday. We are a little behind you. It has been so dry the few we planted were wilted for days even though we were watering them. BUT...today we got a nice storm/shower. Almost an inch in the last two days...YAHOO!
