I uncovered this canna under all the grass.I do love its color.
It had a tiny little butterfly enjoying it.
My little .25 cent Bogonia has over grown its little hanging basket.I will be repoting it real soon.
A little bit closer.It budded but the bloom only open a tiny bit its a pale pink and white or thats the only thing I saw before they fell off.
Its a jungle out here.
My Hibiscus is still blooming.
My Passion Flower Vine has booms almost to the top of my cedar.I do love these blooms and the smell is intoxcating.
Just one of the many many blooms .The smell of them is all over my yard.
My double Datura blooms

Nice pictures and great looking blooms. I haven't seen a cream colored Canna before, that is really pretty.

OO I really love the colours of your canna, hibiscus, passion vine and that gorgeous datura Glenda. 
Your little begonia is hardly 'little' any more. I think, once it's repotted, it may very well flower for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it does.

Nice photos Glenda. I love the color of your Canna. For some reason, I can't see your Double Datura bloom. Probably my computer...

Oh, that passion flower is gorgeous! And the rest of them too, of course. I love the little canna, it's so sweet.
We keep passion flowers for house plants, and they normally die on me.

That canna is such a beautiful creamy color. I love the purple passion and angel trumpet too.

Hi Glenda,
Your passion flower reminds me of beaded jewelry. I have never seen or smelled one in person. Your photo really shows the details and intricacies. Wish I could grow them up here.
Hey, I have a sister named Glynda! It's a great name.
