Your wildflowers are so decorative. I love the Duranta, so pretty, you can grow so many cool plants there, it's great you are getting so much rain this year. Santolina, St. John's Wort, and Yarrow do great here, and I started some Blanket flowers that I hope will bloom this year.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-58608947882007064692015-05-17T22:24:02.724-05:002015-05-17T22:24:02.724-05:00Amazing!

I remember the Shrimp Plant from our trip to New Orleans. Your other plants are more familiar to me, and very beautiful!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-11559495792287685652015-05-16T15:24:50.768-05:002015-05-16T15:24:50.768-05:00The little bat faces made me forget all the other ...The little bat faces made me forget all the other wopnders.rickiihttp://bannersbyricki.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-53614251511631456422015-05-16T14:37:19.784-05:002015-05-16T14:37:19.784-05:00A wonderful show!

I love that the blanket flower and others simply seeded themselves in from adjacent fields. When drifts of flowers appear that way you know you (and others nearby) are treating your beds with a proper respect for native plants. <br /><br />The deer have mostly left our hesperaloe alone too this year - we've had more bloom stalks that didn't get munched off to stubs than ever before. I'm wondering what the reason is - maybe just enough of their other favorite plants to eat they passed them by? Regardless - I'm happy to have the blooms!

Your Saliva 'Amistad' looks great! I've had mixed results with it - one of my three plants, sandwiched between 2 Solanum xanti, has done well but the other 2, given plenty of space and sun, look so pathetic I'm on the verge of pulling them out.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-23132169932221190152015-05-15T21:44:08.585-05:002015-05-15T21:44:08.585-05:00You all must be so overjoyed to get rain!

What a small world. I used to visit Lyman too and Mahoney's was also a favorite haunt. Goodness, so funny to think we might have passed each other.
