JUNE flowers in my garden ..... new ones today !
The last one - the yellow flower - is the second one this season and this is the first time it has ever flowered ...
and lastly, I just had to include this one, for those who have never been to our B & B, let me introduce Rex, one of the COOLEST dogs around, we
brought him all the way from England via U.S. to Baja and he has never left our house since !!!

I do not know the name of either of them but i will try to find out. the first one just started growing wild in the pot ... and it almost seems like
it is a weed, but i LOVE the flowers.

I think they are passion flower and mandevilla-your blooms are so beautiful!
Just bought some hot pink peonies from Trader Joes-oh, how I wish I could grow them. Those and lilacs. Probably the only 2 things I miss from the
right coast-oh, and NYC greasy pizza!
Thanks for sharing!

and a really cool variant of Dragon Fruit.... yesterday the stem was 2". today it is 5" and BLOOMING. our red barrel has bloomed twice. the peaches
are being enjoyed, 5 kinds of squash are coming in, 2 types of corn, peas, beans, 2 types of tomato(e)s , jalapeno, serano, eggplant, bell pepper, spinach, huacatay is 4 feet tall, caigua is finally growing now that the
weather warmed, and the aji amarillo is digging the warmth too.
so many blooms, so little time......
thanks Blanca, for giving springtime a platform. may-november is my favorite time of the year!

woody - please please bring us a "baby" from the cholla and the dragon fruit ...wowwwwwwwwwwwwwww
the first purple flower I posted is called MALVA ROSA and yes, the secondone is most likely mandevilla. it's leaves just started turning yellow
...does this perhaps mean too much water ???? H E L P !!

Malva Rosa---the generic name in the US is Lavatera (assurgentifolia).
Woody---that's a Mammilaria or something but not a Cholla---it won't produce pups for a looooong time! You see them all over Baja....

Blanca - I think your second photo (the red flower) is a dipladenia, which is a type of mandevilla but is a bit bushier than the mandevilla vine
itself. Either way, a gorgeous plant.
Likes to be kept evenly moist - not wet - spring and summer. Perhaps the leaves are yellowing because it could use a bit of plant food? My best
guess.
Thank you for sharing your garden pix with us. Much fun to see.
