     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....
