a few pics of our veggies and flowers. I've always only had the ability to have a patio garden. This is the first time I've had a real yard to work with. I was so excited!
Forgot what these were called:
Bachelor's Button:
Forgot what these were as well:
Flower from an Okra Plant:
Dahlia:
Tiny shrooms!
The favorite plant in my garden! My Passion Flowers!!
More beans than we can eat! 3 bags in the freezer already!
and the okra is growing faster than we can pick it!! |

Wow, beautiful pictures. Aren't passion flowers great? They have such personality. My Dahlias are almost finished for the year, they are tired of the heat.  |

Morag, I think it's a frogtopus surfing. You know those mixed breeds that are very athletic.
Great pics, Jeeper. That first one is not something I've seen here so I don't know it either.
I've said good bye to my flowers for the year. A few holdouts are hanging on but most of the summer ones are passe now.  |

| Oh yes, they're quite rare and very expensive, being a 'designer' type and all. Wonder if Jeeper knows what she's got there. Certainly newsworthy, wouldn't you say? |

| Most definately but I think we should give Jeeper a heads up before the hoards of reporters descend and mayhap scare the wee mite off. What says you? |

Center of the flower sure does look like a mantis - never noticed that before! Unfortunately my beautiful Passifloras are done blooming for the season and have gone to fruit. I pulled a bunch of seeds, so I hope I can have even more plants next season!
Glad you all like my pics! I love taking flower pics and hope to get a macro lens soon for even closer up views! |

| Beautiful pics! The first one looks like some type of Orchid. The third one could be a Delphinium. Nice!! |
