This is what greets me now every morning when I go out.
The wonderful Carolina Jasmine
The Oxilis in my greenhouse.It has really grown since last year.
My going away gift from Monterey .The little plants are making a come back after Bob failed to water them while I was gone.
One of my many Burgmansia cuttings but it has a bud hanging down.
That one Petunia has turned into more on the one plant that lived.
This Red Kolachie finally opened completely.
One red petunia but lots of buds.

Thanks for letting me enjoy them too, Glendann.  I've had that Oxalis, but only as a potted plant. It would die outside here come winter. Actually all those plants would die outside here come winter, but some of them do well as annuals.

Glenda not only are you doing well with your camera but with your plants too. I love the striking red of your Kolachie. Like Droopy all those plants would die if they were outside here just now so it's lovely to see them in your garden. You must have been born with very green fingers.

Lovely Glenda. 
Great to be greeted by such a cheerful site.
I like oxalis and I should actually pay more attention to them - around there they actually grow wild and I never really bothered to cultivate them - but believe me I always enjoy them when they come around - year after year.
BTW what is that succulent behind your oxalis?
The red Petunia is stunning. I like them in all colours, but the red is really striking.

You have some lovely blooms Glenda. I'm glad your plants are recovering well.
Your Brugmansia looks so healthy too...mine looks like a stick in a pot.

Its nice to see that at least some get to have plants growing so pretty. It'll be those of you that'll help get the rest of us with snow, through our last months. Thanks for showing us Glendann.

Gee Glenda, I thought so I just was not sure. thanks for telling me.
We always see them quite big here and usually not in a pot. Yours look so lovley in that pot and the plant does not look so "lost" like the one I have seen here.
