Hiya everyone!

Hope things are good with you all. Sorry I've not been on much... been stinkin busy!

But, I popped in to share my bloomers with ya...

this Charles Grimaldi Brugmansia just keeps getting better! The thing blooms year round and has the most amazing fragrance...

The key to a nice-looking lawn is a good mower. I recommend one who is muscular and shirtless.

Year round blooms? I am jealous! Well maybe you have to weed year round too.

Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

Hey Bikerchick, good to see you again!

Looks like spring has sprung and it looks wonderful. What is the purple plant that the hummingbird moth is on? Looks like some type of campanula.

That oriole is precious. How funny that he didn't think the tub was big enough for two!

hiya toots! the Europeana was a bday gift from my bro a couple years ago... he gave me 5 roses and they're all doing great! No buds on the daylilies yet but an increase in foliage and looking very healthy... fingers crossed that I'll see some flowers this year!

dacia... HA! You got that right!

Yep, I have flowers all year but the weeds never stop either... and the stinking Bermuda, well, heck, NOTHING can kill that stuff off!

Skyler... how ya doing lady??? Good to see you too... the purple plant is a Margarita BOP Penstemon... a CA Native Penstemon. I LOVE the colors of them. The flowers go from a soft lavender to electric blue tips... they're a reall standout in the gardens and need ZIP to do well here! No water, no fertilizer... just stick 'em in the ground and leave 'em alone

yeah, the Oriole just tickled me! He was at the hummingbird feeder too... so I hope he comes back and brings friends!

owie... thanks!
