I know. I know. I just uploaded MORE gardening pics to bore everybody.
You must think I garden 24/7. And I do talk to my plants. Its part of getting them to grow properly. It beats talking to yourself .
One of natures most beautiful plants is called a " Moon Flower". It gets its name from the fact it only blooms at night. During the day the bloom furls itself back to a bud like position. Last nite the first blooms appeared and of course I was there to snap some night time pics. The bloom is pure white in color and a very large 8" in diameter. I stared the seed in a hanging basket back in January. The plant is vine like and loves hot moist weather. As I blog this each basket has an over abundance of buds growing like crazy. It will be interesting to see what it looks like when the vines are 8-10 feet long and 50 blooms open at once. What a show it will be!! Now if I could only get my girlfriend Bonnie to "furl" tight during the day....
