Some Hibiscus

The hibiscus growing by my garage have done really well this year. They had no leaves when I took them out in the spring and are now full of leaves and blooms. Here are some pics.

Random Pics of flowers around the yard.

Here's a pic of my Crape Myrtle "Zuni".

My Mandevilla has more than double in sized over the

My Mandevilla in the backyard saw some light frosts in the spring, but it has grown really well since. Imagine how fast it would grow if the roots weren't confined to a pot!

Brugmansia "Emerald Glow" bloom

Robert Kemp Hibiscus

Painted Lady Hibiscus (this one is tropical!)

Moon vine one night before opening up.

Huge moon vine bloom the next evening. 

Passiflora "Berkley" about to make the first bloom of the season.

I thought I lost this Mexican Petunia over the winter, but I potted up the roots anyways to see what would happen. It ended up growing back without a problem! Every single plant that I thought died over the winter ended up coming back eventually.

Thanks for looking!

Potted Livistona pic.

I rarely take pics of this palm, but it makes a nice potted plant. I've had it for about 3 years now. It always gets sun damage in the spring, but makes a full recovery by this time of the year. 

Saw this cool insect today!

Turns out that Hummingmoths really like Crape Myrtles and roses. I think hummingmoths are really cool looking insects. They have a very similar apperance to hummingbirds but aren't. Here are some pics (Click to enlarge)

Big Plumeria Pic!

First pic is of a dragon fly resting on my the top of the plumeria inflo (about 12 feet high). Must be a nice view up there!

Last of my "Robert Kemp" hibiscus blooms.

Unfortunately it looks like these 2 blooms are the last for my "Robert Kemp" hibiscus for the summer. It has been blooming for about a month.

Night Pics around the Pool Area
