I slept to long yesterday morning and didn't get out early as I headed to take Oreo out I found these in my yard.I had been waiting and waiting for it to bloom.Just under the bloom in the first picture is a bloom from my plumbago.
 
This morning it had another bloom and a vistor sitting on it.
The Apricot Sparkle is Blooming again after being broke off.
The Rose of Sharon (Althea) is blooming but the blooms are smaller this year from the long dry spell.
The Plumeria is blooming in with the Passion Flowers and vine.I wish ya'll could smell this one.You don't have to get close to smell the mixture.

Your hibiscus is a sight, and so are the rest of your plants!  Another two weeks before I get to smell a Plumeria, I'm looking forward to that.

Glenda that is soooo pretty. Love the color and different shape. Can it be started from seed? All your other flowers are divine as always. That Rose of Sharon is really big. The Apricot Sparkle is so pretty and such a pretty shade of yellow.And the Plumeria...bet your yard smells heavenly.

Your passion flower is such an exotic beauty. I keep drooling every time you post photos of it.
