Gosh Glenda I wish I could grow some of those plants outdoors. They look so much better outside that confined to a pot inside. Love the piccies of the dragonfly and butterfly.

Very pretty Glenda. Your plants are so far ahead of mine! My Zinnia's, Snapdragons, Datura and Balsam are all still babies compared to yours!
I think I'll move some of my house plants outdoors...yours look so happy out there.

Very nice. You are so ahead of us in Delaware, too.
The Angels trumpet is my fave. To think of it, I can put that in my all white plantings this year...as the variety I would want would be the white.

Thank you all for the great comments.All the rain has been good for my yard but also all the grass and weeds has grown just as great.I can't keep up with getting it mowed and weeded.
The white Angel Trumpets only bloom at night Chitweed but the smell is heavenly,I have 4 different kinds and the white puts on a glow at night and what a bloom show.I got this day picture because it was still cloudy yesterday morning.

Is that one of my spider plant babies? Awww, I'm so proud!  Everything looks great!! Your garden is wayyyyy ahead of mine!! The zinnia seeds you gave me are popping up more & more each day. I imagine they will flower around July 4th (at least that's what I'm hoping)

Yes ,stratsmom its yours . They are so great.They have really grown and thanks again for the little beauties.I am just really enjoying them.
If the Zennia's are up now they may well bloom before July.It doesn't take them long in Texas but don't know how they will do there.

What a nice walk we went on!! Beautiful!! Things are slowly starting to grow more here. I think things will definetly grow faster now that its going to be sunny all week and in the 80s and possibly first 90s that i can remember this year.
Nice job on your flowers!!

Glenda, your exotic impatien is also known as balsam. That light pink is very pretty. I have the purple camelia spotted. They reseed very freely here, They even grown in the clay and gravel behind my mobile home. It is hard to collect the seeds because like impatiens they pop open when the seed pods are ripe. If you watch them carefully though you can get the seed. Just don't wait for the pod to turn brown, they pop open while still green. Everything looks great, I just counted 50 flowers on my Cinderella portulaca, it is really showing off today.
