Lovely blooms, Glenda!  I really like the petunia and the Kiss Me-thing, but I must say your Crepe Myrtles are looking very good.
That last one, could it be a Euphorbia of some kind? I photographed one like it in Rodos, and posted it in my latest blog entry.

Nice flowers, Glenda. It's so nice that you still have stuff growing and blooming there.
That mystery plant from Navarra does indeed look like that plant that Droopy pictured. That would be something, wouldn't it?
That 'Mexican Petunia"--what is the diameter of the flower bloom?
You have such nice plants.

I really like your Golden candlestick tree and those Mexican petunias are putting on lovely show. Crepe myrtle is something I would love to grow in my garden. You still have so many very pretty flowers in your garden Glenda.

Your plants alaways look so nice Glenda! That last one tho looks to me like sage brush. From the last pic i can see the little yellow flowers. Highly revered by the Native American. Smell wonderful when you rub the leaves, almost a eucaliptis smell but woodsey. Great stuff there Glenda. That plant also has very deep spiritual aspects to it. Word of caution,,,lol. If you do take some and dry it, to burn as an incense, DO NOT take it once it has buds or flowers on it... it smells like wet socks or just plain bad. Only take some leaves then. If you would like to have it as an incense, cut some before they bloom.
Again, i sure wish i had some of that here. Great find, and wonderful stuff to have near by.
