It took about 20 minutes to download but it was worth every minute! GORGEOUS!! I wish the pics were all labeled. Can you tell us what they all are? I see pansies, petunias, and geraniums I think, but either I can't see the others close enough, or I'm just not familiar with all of them.

Did you plant them all recently or are they bi-annuals or perenials? Or is it all your yard, or does it include your neighborhood?

Hawaii has beautiful plants, but so does each region of the country have their own beauty. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, this is my front yard. The bigger bloomers are azaleas and a yellow rose bush that is taking over the fence. They are perennial shrubs and pretty gaudy this time of year in the South. The rest are mostly a mixture of annuals and perennials...impatiens, ornamental cabbages, money plant ( tall blooming purple), salvia, and you hit most of the others. What you can't see is all the pollen and right now it is overwhelming ! Achew!

Are both of the first two, ornamental cabbages? I thought they might be. The 5th one is the salvia - right? But which is the money plant? I love yellow roses - my favorite - but I'm not really a rose grower. I tend to favor annuals and perenials, I guess.

I have to tell you, I've almost been depressed today not to have felt well enough to work in my yard more lately, after seeing how beautiful your yard is! You must have a big piece of property. It's really beautiful!

Those cabbages are amazing..I plant them every year. And the fifth slide is the money plant blooming purple. Rosey hates money plant and it is invasive but it puts on quite a show.
We are having a cold snap tonight and everything is covered with blankets !
