Our hydrangeas are now starting to open, one very pretty yellow calla lily, daisies, and some monarda as well.

During the summer time I rarely ever have to buy any food for my 4 torts, I just grow it all 😂 🤷🏼‍♀️
(Yummy food for their caretakers too 🤣)

This on a volunteer bush that grew in the perfect spot. Most in the front yard probably will be at least a couple weeks and the ones in the back yard will be blooming later.

Interesting that the volunteer is blooming first

It gets sun from early early morning until almost sundown at this time of year where it's located.

I'm hoping mine blooms soon and grows at least a few flowers this year. I think I planted it last summer so it's still on the smaller side.

Just wanted to share a few pictures of the flowers growing in my yard.

Awesome hibiscus!

Buds on my native Hibiscus moscheutos the other week. I must have at least 10 stalks with buds this year. Should be blooming soon!

@jaizei : As you know, when you order the rainbow eucalyptus seeds online they send you a little plastic envelope filled with sixty million of the tiniest seeds you ever saw in your life. They're so tiny as to appear like the dust particles you see floating around in the sun stream at the window.

Well, I never had any luck, but my motto is try, try again, so I re ordered. I filled a rectangular planter with potting soil and broadcast a bunch of the dust particles across the top, then took a fork and lightly disturbed the dirt hoping to cover the seeds up. That was about a month ago. Here's what I'm seeing this a.m. (sorry for the blurry picture. When I push the close-up button the pictures always come out blurry, and the subject matter in the second picture is a lot smaller than it looks in the picture):



Now if I can just keep them alive. There are three that I can see. Watch. . . they'll turn out to be some sort of weed just cause I bragged!
