I thought these were interesting pictures.
This is a picture of my tropical canna .I think it is awesome.
Behind it is a regular canna.
This is where something is eating the new leaf inside and a spider waiting to capture what ever is nibbling on it.
I had a beautiful amaryllis last year .It was pepperment.This is it this year .
It isn't pepperment this year.
This is the complete plant
Another amaryllis but also different. I think the bees and butterflies has been working overtime 
This little tree was about 3 ft tall last spring.Boy has it grown.
I have blooms on my little squash.
The bramble patch now has May berries in the makings
The hanging basket holder and the old smokey lid full of johnny jump ups and the African Daisies. Mt cement armadillo underneath.
I hope my picture show ok as they are very blurry on my computer. If they are I'm sorry .My computer does this sometimes and I can't fix it.

Your photographs aren't blurred at all Glenda. They are wonderful. Those amaryllis are gorgeous and the shot of the inside of the canna is superb!!! That tree has certainly grown some hasn't it? I really like your planters and the armadillo too.

They look wonderful Glendann!! Tropical plants,,,ohhh!! I would love to see those canna when they are in bloom, i bet they are beautiful..
Your amerylis is so pretty too. I just brought mine back out of hiding hoping it will give me a Stewie again. And the rest of your garden is looking so good. I would be having a hard time with those squash flowers right now,,, i would want to deep fry them in batter and eat them or put on a salad,,lol. I don't think i would ever have a squash at all!!

Lovely photos, Glendann!  Your amaryllis are so sweet, and that canna is something else, a real show stopper. Imagine, berries in May, we get them in autumn, and the blackberries are very, very late, like October sometimes. Your basket-and-armadillo-setup is pretty.

You do have a lot of color.
My Canna Tropicana are really getting tall too, can't wait for them to bloom.

Your flowers are so pretty. What kind of tree is that? Your berries look delicious. Do you get enough to eat at one picking? Your picts come through fine. Thanks for posting.

Thank you all .Petunia that is a china berry tree.Yes,when these wild berries get ripe you will get enough to make a cobbler or eat them with cream and sugar.I'm glad my pictures are clear.

All your pictures look great! The canna is a beauty and I really like Mr. Armadillo! The sign of a true (redneck) Texan!
