and I'll show you mine.

Small ones should be blooming in a week or so

For a Smurf you have a big bush.

Our azaleas bloomed out already and lost their first flowers. I am hoping we get another bloom on them before the blistering heat. Lorapetallums starting to bloom out and stella doro lilies soon will open.

Derek those azaleas look very healthy.

Beautiful.. I'll show you mine after my caladiums are up .

This is an old picture .

Very similar, but about half as tall. The wind and storm on Sat beat it up pretty good; looks like a St Bernard got dropped in the middle. .

This was about 3 weeks ago. They are starting to bloom again.

It's that time of the year again. I'll get full color until the poinsettias come on the market in the fall.

That is pretty nice bill oxner. I don't know much about poinsettias. Will they turn completely red when "bloomed"?

Our "skullcaps" bloomed. They will stay bloomed for quite a while. I like them. They replaced some failed "foxtail ferns" that the original landscaper put it. We just put some "pentas" at the doorway to replace the pansies.

Wow, really?
