Wow. I'm jealous of your sweet olive! Mine don't look like that. :-(

While it blooms off and on through much of the year, especially the cooler seasons, it now has more numerous and larger clusters of flowers than EVER before! So don't feel too bad. It must have rained at just the right time.

Thank you for the tour of Roselee's Wonderland of horticulture!

Pam, what a nice thing to say! You're very welcome!

In case anyone is interested it looks like the Voodoo lily I have is Amorphophallus konjac. It looks like the very last photo on the blog entry linked below.

I hope to have some bulbs to bring to the next swap.

Roselee, you really have a good eye for capturing the special effects in your garden. I love a seeing a garden after the rain. The voodoo lily is spectacular. And, I enjoyed seeing your coral vine with garden gate in the background... so pretty! But, the one that I consider to be a true Kodak moment... ? The one with your reflection in the 'tear streaked' mirror! As they say..... priceless!

Thanks, loved it!

Thank you, Roselee. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Lou

Thank you Irene and Lou for enjoying the camera views of the yard. I strive to capture the 'soul' of the garden, but am not often successful.

Incidentally, I found "The Findhorn Garden; Pioneering a New Vision of Man and Nature in Cooperation" and all the books by Dorothy Maclean, one of the Findhorn garden founders, fascinating. They contributed much to my enjoyment of gardening and the appreciation of plants.

Happy gardening!

I love reading garden books. But, if I have the names of the books and the author, well, that just sets me in the right direction. Thanks, Roselee.

Love it! Never thought about a sweet olive, but your picture and the poster on the other side now have me searching. Might be a good replacement for the Altheas. Also, that toad lily is gorgeous! Never seen or heard of one before!

Lynnmarie, I saw some nice sized Sweet olives at Lowes a couple of weeks ago. The flowers are not very showy, but they smell wonderful and here in San Antonio the tall bush is evergreen and drought tolerant. You might find toad lilies at nurseries now since they are blooming.

Irene, I hope you find the Findhorn Garden books as intriguing as I did.

Great pics! Thanks again for the seedling of the amorph. I am so excited to finally have another one, hope this doesn`t trigger my addiction.
They grow so fast I imagine it will be blooming size before you know it.
Tally HO!
