Very pretty as always Karyn. I swear instead of a green thumb you have a whole green arm, lol. Your banana has gotten big!

You have such wonderful stuff Karyn. I like the Banana. What kind? And those dang Milkweed vine are super! I didn't get a one to germinate.

Nice Passies. My Passies have very large buds just ready to pop. I cannot wait!

Barry I'll send you some seeds from those if I get any. They aren't the same variety as the ones we got from the GW member. I have several of those growing but they haven't bloomed yet. The white one has a nice scent but it's also called a Cruel Vine because it traps moths. When they stick their proboscis in to sip nectar it gets stuck. Most of the time it's released but I have to do a moth rescue every morning and free the ones that are still trapped. That's a Blood banana and it's gotten huge. I wonder if it will ever bloom? That's the only banana that I have and I know nothing about them.

Very nice Karyn. Love the morning glories. What is that pink brug?
Shawn

The tag is completely faded but I think it might be Forever Morr. I'll have to wait until my labeled one blooms and compare them.
Karyn

Karyn you have beautiful flowering plants. very very nice to look at even just online. You must be in heaven seeing it in real! Wonderful!!!!
Maybe one day I have more varieties besides marigold, 4 o clocks and the brugs lol

I want to move to your house...LOL It is all very Beautiful..

Hi Karyn-
I'd love to stroll through your gardens, thanks for the treat!

I just noticed the weird conglomeration of onion? What are we looking at Karyn?

Beautiful blooms, thanks for the pics.

Barry it's an Egyptian Walking Onion.
Karyn

Karyn, everything is gorgeous as usual! You have some neat plants. Are those Milkweed Vines related at all to milkweed?

My (mortifolia?) Passi, bloomed yesterday. Very pretty but only about 1 1/2" across! My cleronden ungadense(sp?)leaves smell like burnt nails or hair! Did you notice this with yours?

Theresa

Very pretty karyn! Awesome plants!
Karen

BEAUTIFUL as always Karyn!!! Love them all, especially the MGs, the red flowering plant above the fig (what is it?), and figs! I had two volunteer figs that got over 5' tall and the dang gophers topple them over.

Theresa those are all in the asclepias family and serve as host plants for monarchs. Doesn't the ugandense foliage stink!!! The flowers don't smell. lol The morifolia blooms are small and you'll get lots of fruit that turns a very dark purple with bright orange arils. I don't think it's edible, even my sugar gliders wouldn't eat it.

Eloise that's a Rangoon Creeper. It blooms like crazy and has a nice scent. There's a double variety that I want to get. I have several huge figs but most have been stripped by the squirrels. For some reason that haven't gotten to this one and it's loaded with fruit. They're probably waiting for it to ripen. Damn tree rats!
Karyn

Karyn everything is so beautiful.

Rigo

Everything is so beautiful Karyn..your yard must be like heaven. That's it..I'm bringin a tent and campin out, lol. Just let me know where the voodoo lily is so I don't set up camp by it, lol.
Seriously, it all looks so lovely.

Very pretty, love all your plumeria. So sorry about tootsie, I cant wait to see her bloom.

Karyn- Thanks.

What a lovely brug that pink one is!!

I can't grow most of what you post- you know, not enough greenhouses (NONE!!) so I sure enjoy the photos you post- I love the tropics!

Brenda believe it or not I used to winter a lot of those plants over inside my house. It became too expensive to heat the big greenhouse at the farm to a temp that was warm enough for the super tender tropicals so I converted a spare room in the house into a grow room with HID lights and misters. I'm sure people thought I was growing dope here. lol The lights are so bright (two 1000 watt MH bulbs) and cars and people would actually slow down and try to look in the window.
Karyn

What can I say ?? Just beautiful. I don't have any Passiflora, didn't think I wanted them, but you are slowly changing my mind. The one I like best is the 3rd one down, looks kind of like a shooting star, and it's red. Love it. Every thing else is just beautiful.

Oh Karyn, all are beautiful. It must smell heavenly in your garden with all of those lovely flowers. I love the morning glories.

Thanks for a glimpse into your garden.

Deb

Edna I thought you were talking about the red ones when I emailed you. That one is actually a hot pink color. It's a P. palmeri sublancelata and I was finally able to pollinate it with foetida pollen so hopefully I'll get some seeds. I love passies but they are so hard to understand. Many are from such differeing environments and they all have different numbers of chromosomes so it's not that easy to pollinate them. There's also many that are fully or partially sterile. I know very little about them, I just grow them. lol
Karyn

Karen,

Hello, Love your flowers. Just a suggeston incase you haven't tried it. For the squarrels in the fig trees try hanging pie tins or c/d's throughout the tree. The reflection and wind blowing them scares them off. Good luck with getting some ripe fruit.
Pattie

Pattie what a great idea. Thanks so much. I have loads of useless CD's lying around. Now there's a use for them. We attach pie plates spread with peanut butter to the electric fence at the farm because I'm mean and enjoy watching the deer get zapped (that's not really the reason). They can't resist the peanut butter and we're hoping to use aversion because we can't have the fences on all the time. When the kids are at the farm or the dogs are running around we have to turn off the juice.
Karyn

Just beautiful, Karyn! Love your morning glories.
