The Angel Trumpet tree/bush at its best this year. and the season is almost over. TOO much rain, TOO little Rain, I've seen it look much nicer in years gone by. WOW the sweet smell early mornings.

Hyancith, texas, elephant ears etc

Please excuse the weeds, still a losing battle at times, here we have my Texas Hyacinth,, still not blooming, sure do need to collect the seed pods from this particular plant, lots of sentimental value, also gotta love those elephant ears, I just LOVE them,,,, there are also a few (cant remember the name) tiny pretty type flowers down amongst the ever invasive weeds, MUST do better, I really must .

SURPRISE!!!!

YIPPEEEEEEE, the first one of the season! My absolute most fav o rite flower of all times!!! Some call them surprise Lily, some naked lady,, I just call it spider lily, I just know I LOVE THEM even shortlived and short blooming as they may be. I scour the landside for them. I hear they bloom white in some places, maybe one day I'll find some!!

Doesn't everyone have one?

A Garden Gnome that is that was gifted to me, that lives under a Mexican Firebush? I just couldn't leave him cement color. I painted the little guy a few years ago, he has aged nicely , although with a few cracks and chips here and there from being moved about.

this firebush doesn't appear to be the happiest in the world, it gets a bit too much shade apparently.

Angel Trumpet oh my the Smell

I finally managed to take a better picture of the Angel Trumpet, Its been planted for about three years now, and is finally getting more than just a couple blooms, I hear they are posionous , but my the strong perfume smells they create in the early Mornings. Mixed in you may see a loofa sponge, the antique roses , a green bean or two!
