Everything looks good Glenda. My crepemyrtles quit blooming already, and the caterpillars eat my poor passionvine down as soon as it gets leaves. I think I had 3 flowers on it this year.

Thank you cajunbelle.I still have so much to get done but I'm working on it.
I have a red passion vine that never bloomed.I didn't see any catipillars on mine but found one eating into the buds on the confederate rose nedless to say he wont eat anything else.

Is that a fountain by the bed frame? I like it. I also like the blocks around the lantana. Looking good, I think. Dooley

I let these caterpillars eat away bc they turn into the Gulf Frittalary butterfly. (sp) I have a pretty red lantana called Dallas Red, it is still blooming.

Dooley that is a water fountain and those are tiles around the lantana.Thank you Dooley.
Cajunbelle I like butterfies and I love the vine flower .Its a toss up there.I wish you would seed me some of those red lantana seeds when you seend the other seed .I'll send to some of my lilac lantanas if you don't have any.My white ones are puny and i ran over my gold one with the lawn mower but its growing back from the roots.

I wish I could grow lantana here. I grew some down the hill before we moved here. But, it's too cold here. It dies in the winter. I couldn't even buy it up here. Maybe I could grow some in a pot and bring it inside. No, no place to put it. Oh, well! I will look at yours. Dooley

You yard looks so good! My poor yard is really feeling neglected lately from me being sick. But it is supposed to be getting down to around 20 degrees this coming week, so I am just going to cover the poor roses up and get them ready for their winter naps!

Everythings looking spiffing Glenda. I like your elephant planter :)

Love the plumeria. Doesn't it smell divine? I have been afraid to try them here. I thought they needed never to be below 55 degrees or they would croak.

Well, it is a good thing I don't live near you or I would be tempted to steal. You see, I collect elephants and I really like yours.
Everything else is very nice also.
