Beautiful!
I never realized this, but the tip of every hibiscus bloom has five dots of whatever you call it. I went out and checked mine and all of them have
five dots at the tip of th bloom!
The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

Nice pics! BTW--the "Obispo Cactus" looks like an iceplant relative (like Lithops--the Living Stones)...where did you find it? (Hmmm.....SLOtown?)

Flower lover here
Great colors. Are you using fertilizers?
For those of you in Baja, the below shrub does wonders in dry climates...easy to grow.
Lion's Tail
Scientific Name: Leonotis menthifolia
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

I was hoping someone would know what the Obispo...no kin to san luis...really is.
That is what the nursery guy called it. We have had it for over 10 years and it has not really grown much. It blooms regularly but seldom three as
in these photos. So you dont think that it is a cactus....muy interesante!

No, no fertilizers, but we do spread compost around our plants. If you could see the entire plants, you would see that they are in dirt in a pretty
bleak environment...nothing lush. I guess that I should have said...Baja garden, eh?
These were all taken in June, 2011

Nobody grows that Leonotis in Fort Worth but I managed to snag a cutting of it at the Shangra-La Botanic Garden in Beaumont, TX (on the bayou....).
It grows just fine here, and survives the icy winters, but the summer heat shuts down the blooming until fall when it is magnificent. However the
Fort Worth Botanic Garden had a Leonotis which I hadn't seen before (L. nepetifolia?) and its blooming like crazy in this summer heat (100s for a
month now  ). Might be a good one for folks on the gulf side to try.

What beautiful flowers, Judy - all of 'em. Although I do believe I'm partial to the bloom when watered ones. They look so graceful - those
delicate-looking white blooms reaching up above those dark green stems. Lovely!
Remembering other photos you've posted, you do have a abundance of plant life in your yard..... and chickens, too.
