I didn't get out into the yard much this past week as I got really sick from my allergies, bee stings and mowing on Sunday so I just didn't push my luck .After going to ER and having a Drs appointment tomorrow.
Just a few pictures here.
The Wondering Jew(Moses in a Boat)is really blooming now.
The Crepe Myrtle is finally blooming.It sure is ragged.
Love the Ballon Flower buds before they open.
Pink Canna
Spider Lily
Thats about it, Sorry

I hope you get to feeling better. Those allergies can really make you feel bad. Really lovely flowers.

You've got nice blooms!  The wandering Jew is the same type we had in the balcony planter in Rodos. It's so decorative. I really like the balloon flower bud.

Sorry to hear about those allergies getting you down...but the garden flowers are spectacular as always.
The Crepe Myrtle looks good to me. It´s a pretty colour, isn´t it? The colour of that Baloon Flower is quite lovely, I do say.
I have never seen a `Wandering Jew` that looked like that. That´s interesting.

Your bloomers are gorgeous! That is the most blooms that I have ever seen on a crepe myrtle tree. How beautiful they are! I have never seen Moses in a Boat before. How odd. I, too, love balloon flowers. I hate you have been suffering so many discomforts, and hope your dr appointments help. Extra special prayers coming your way. Love SoJ

I'd like to add that we can get the Moses in a Boat as a potted plant here. They won't survive outside.

Lovely blooms Glenda. I like the Crepe Myrtle. I have some seeds for some but I haven't planted them. Do they take a long time to grow?

Thank you all .I have never tried to plant seeds for the Crepe Myrtle.They are all over the place here.The Crepe Myrtle bush is a lilac color and its starting to bloom now too.Has anyone ever heard the balloon flower bud pop open? It makes a soft pop.If you are working by them you can hear it.

How is your really bad bee sting? Has it cleared up any, or still causing problems? Hope you get to feeling much better. Love your pictures. I have some wandering jew/moses in a boat also. That balloon bloom is very interesting.

Your Wondering jew is so pretty, perhaps it's the simplicity, of the flower and plant.
