Bloomin' Tuesday

We've been getting steady rain.
It's like the Florida from days of old.
You won't hear one complaint from me!





So much for solarizing, eh?
Not to worry, rain chances are decreasing
as the week progresses.




cotton plant




gloriosa daisy




maple tree




lily




sweet potato vine and thryallis



first blooms on this unusual specimen




sweet potatoes growing as a border




lantana




a new mystery plant




It made itself at home among the zinnias
and has delicate pink blooms on it around May.




Here's the Maple Hill Mascot,
just hangin' around.

Have a lovely day, y'all!

  8. Looks like your plants all love the rain :) We had rain last week here every evening. I thought it was wonderful but heard several people fussing they were tired of it. And now this week no rain at all and wishing we had it. You won't hear me fussing about it either :)
