We've had rain, and cooler temps. The garden is showing it's appreciation. Rather than upload to photobucket, I'll just do several individual shots.

Datura bud about to unfurl.....as you know, they open late afternoon and close up when the sun hits them.
Hope you enjoy - I'm excited to have blooms again.

I thought these were dead and threatened to pull them down. Then we started getting rain and my goodness, look at them now.

Everything is simply beautiful! Dare I send you out again for some "long-distance" photos of your gardens? I loved the view you shared on the other thread from your front door.

Lovely, lovely!! Is that plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' in a pot or in the ground? It's beautiful. Love those things but haven't had one this year, cause I let it freeze over the winter.

Great pics. You've still got a lot going on & that hyacinth bean vine is really doing some climbing!

lovely pictures of lovely flowers by a lovely lady. i'm with shook on the long distance shots to see how it all comes together.

Thanks Girls. Not sure about an overall......while the garden has these bloomers, overall it's still ratty, so I did selective photography . However, if you want some long shots, I'll try and get some.

FFG - I do not know the name of the purple container..it's some sort of mint. It was a gift for my mom as a "housewarming" gift from a friend when she moved in with us 4 years ago. It's been repotted a couple of times and comes inside during the winter. I'll have to google your name for it to see. Thanks.

Vera! Everything lovely. Especially like the way the white daisy pops in the photo with the red salvia! You have such a variety of bloomers. You not only have beautiful spring flowers but summer ones too!

Look at all that color! Just beautiful. It's funny how you think something is a goner and then it rains...it's magic!

Vera, very pretty. Thank you so much for writing down the name of the flowers. Most peeps just show photos and I don't know the types of flowers they are usually. I appreciate your naming every single one!
I love all of them and I am surprised your Daisies are just blooming now. My Shasta Daisy bloomed in May and it's been done for a long time now. It came back from last year, that's why! (in a container)
I love that last flower, the purple and white one. You bought it like that? Nice!!!
