Ah, they're so lovely! You're lucky to have all that colour around you, and I'm lucky because you share it with me.

I love the colour of the wild spider wart - wish I had some of that in my garden. You have so much colour Glenda - thanks for sharing all your lovely flowers with us.

It is wonderful to see such a variety of flowers . . . great shots . . . I had never seen a spiderwort . . . I love the pic of it especially. It is so unusual. Does it grow from a bulb? My, but you have a gorgeous place.

Glenda, that may not be a grass in the picture with the Lantana. I can't find any ornamental grasses that look like that.
It could be a variety of Cordyline Australis, possibly Red Star or a variegated variety or one of the hybrids. It is a cousin of the Dracaena and commonly sold as a Dracaena in garden centers.

Thank you so much toni for the name and spiderwort as far as I know grows wild from seeds.
Thank you so much for the great comments.

Spiderwort will also put out little plantlets that root when they sit on the ground, a lot like the hanging Spider Plant does. After a few months, gently dig up the rooted baby plant and repot. I have done two so far and have a few more to do.

Your blooms are so delightful to see, Glendann. I just keep scrolling up and down...and up ...and down...
I have to say, I really love that yellow climber. If it is as fragrant as it is beautiful, you must spend hours and hours in it's company ;) . I looked a couple of years for just such a rose, but had no luck.
iI sure enjoy seeing yours, though.
Thank you for posting all these delightful piccies this morning.
