  1. It's always neat to see what blooms in other people's gardens. I'm not at all familiar with Rattlebox--I had to google that one!
    And how neat to be able to grow lemons!

  2. I love zinnias too! They last forever and are always great in a vase. My red ones are still going strong!

  5. As always daisy, beautiful! I bet you have the nicest garden in your whole neighborhood. Just think what your garden will look like when you get out of the HOA. I can't wait.

  9. Wow! What a colorful array of flowers! Everything is lovely. (Yes, that does look like ageratum...it took me forever to get it from popping up everywhere in my flower beds!) I enjoyed my visit here.

  10. never met a zinnia I didn't like. Mexican Sunflowers do fine in FL. I am in North Florida. I can send you some seeds if you like. I am posting this from my blogger account, I cannot comment on some blogs from wordpress. my eamil rusdar at hotmail dot com

  13. Darla-As soon as it's light out, I'll go check the tag on the native vine. I'll see if I can get some seeds for you. I know I bought it at the extension center last year around this time.

  16. You have lots of beautiful blooms! I don't think I've seen rattlebox or native butterfly vine. I love them both, and their names!

  17. Sue-Thanks! I have rattlebox seeds, if you'd like some.

  18. I love zinnias as well! I love the pic of the pink one! I've never heard of rattlebox before, and I've only recently heard of Butterfly Vine. Does it attract butterflies for you? Your salvia is really pretty as well!
