    Your bleeding heart is absolutely lovely Zuzu. I have a white one but it doesn't have the red centre sadly. Your hotographs are fantastic and your lilies are really something special. :-D

    Great pictures as always Zuzu. I've never seen a Bleeding Heart Vine before...it's beautiful! Everything is beautiful! I especially like the Crocosmia close up. That's been on my wish list for a few years.

    You took great pics. Everything looks so colorful. I can honestly say I would have never dreamed I would want a 'tiny mouse' but I do!

    I'm so glad that you all enjoyed seeing these.
    I know I went crazy with my little camera yesterday [​IMG]
    but with the on-and-off rain showers, it was easier than actually "working" out there. :D

    Glenda ~ you are welcome anytime,
    especially if you arrive driving a truckful of mushroom compost. :D

    All your flowers look great Zuzu. The Hibiscus syriacus, "Rose of Sharon" looks pale purple is it?

    Oh ,dang I can't drive an 18 wheeler.No CDLs but I could pick cajunbelle up on the way.Dreaming on.
    I do wish I could deliver compost to all you wonderful people.Zuzu how for are you from Orlando, Fla.We have a plant there and in Princeton Ill.and in Pa.In Bonne Terre,Mo.Golly places I didn't even know we had. You may had a mushroom plant near you and not know it.Lots of Mushroom Companys all over the place.May not be Monterey but compost is compost.
