Thanks for the pictures they are beautiful. Nothing that is eye candy is common or uninteresting.

great pics, nice dragon fly indeed! The noodle bean is used alot here in the caribbean both the red and green varieties. i do like it, but i prefer string beans!! :)

Thank you wally-1936. Siam I didn't know there was a green noodle bean. I'll have to look for it. I assume I'd be more likely to find it in one of the ethnic markets. I eat veggies raw and think the noodle bean has an almost sweet taste compared to string beans. Do they hold the red color when cooked?

Those are all so cool looking, Karyn! That noodle bean is beautiful! I planted a 6-pk of the grean Asian long-bean, but have only harvested about 5 beans. I did take a bite of the raw bean, but didn't think it tasted that good so cooked them in an omelet. The last set of pictures, what are pix 2 and 6?

Eloise #2 is Mirabilis Longiflora (Sweet 4:00) and #6 is a cleome.

More misc plants. The first and last are 2 different plants. 1 is a solanum and the last is a basil.

I'm loving the photos, like going to the Botanic Gardens online! I planted the Asian longbean a few years ago and thought the flavor was not up to par, so back to bush string beans. BTW, passing by my sliding glass door last night and noticed a hummingbird enjoying my potted zinnias. So glad they like what I planted!

karyn, the red noodle bean's colour does fade a bit when cooked. The green noodle bean is actually used more than the red one here. I see if i can get some seeds of it for you. I cant believe it, ive known and ate noodle beans since i was a child, its also known as "bodi" here.
still prefer string beans though!

Karyn that bean is amazing.. I grow the burgundy beans and Okra that turn green when cooked and have grown the the yard long beans that are green.. Very interesting! Love the Variegated Basil also.. I have just gotten back in town AGAIN.. I have been gone most of the time since March.LOL So nice to some blooms I have missed everything here..LOL Everything looks Great!!!

Kylie if you want any seeds just let me know. I hope that basil puts out seeds. Actually it was in the greenhouse at the farm. I'm up there so infrequently that I don't even know what we have in stock. lol

Been down (literally) and trying to catch up. My back went out working out in the yard.

That is a beautiful 4 o'clock Karyn, your MGs especially pix 4 and pix 7! Thanks for such lovely pictures!

I love your mgs and your red noodle bean. I grow the red beans here because they do so well in our humidity. The one I have is called Red Orr and listed as an Asian veg so I have been putting it in the stir fry. Seems like all the Asian veggies do good here lol.
That reminds me, I still have that double blue MG seeds that popped up in my yard a few yrs ago somewhere. I grew them again last year from the previous year's seed and they came true.

Karyn I would love a few thanks!! Your MG's are beautiful I have some seed but never got the chance to get it planted.. I have the blue that comes back every yr.but thats it..LOL.
