Ok going to post my flowers: one is a single yellow hibiscus. One is a double red hibiscus, then one will be my wild roses, and part of my petunia patch, lol.

the other roses are my sils next door...

How absolutely gorgeous, Sheila!

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Your own little paradise.

thanks all. its the first year that I had a pretty yard. I do enjoy it so much. I either go outside and stare at it or stand in the window...lol

Food for the soul Sheila!!!

Those roses are wild, wowee!! We are lucky to get shrub roses to bloom up here. Only have one good one, it's an English rose, Graham Thomas, blooms yellow.

Thanks for the treat Floriday gal!!!

Hibiscus, do they have a "smell" and if so, what is it like???

I'd like to have three Jayne Austin's next to my deck. Jayne is Graham's daughter.

Absolutley beautiful.

mykneesareback · 05-09-2008, 07:43 PM

Sheila, do you have to water your plants from the bottom only, so they don't get any fungus on them??? I'm curious, since you have alot of humidity.

Sheila:

I just found this! What beautiful flowers!

When we lived in Miami I had a little rose garden but almost couldn't keep up with the stuff that went wrong with them - never mind the afternoon I was weeding them barefoot and ran into a hill of fire ants!

ow fire ants...i hate those things. Just got in here to read the rest of the comment. Thanks all. I water usually at the roots , but now the petunias, I have a water can, so some of the leaves get wet. But I try not to. Now I also read to leave the moss rose alone till totally dry. So I stopped over watering them. LOL. My hibiscus are beautiful, but the leaves are turning yellow. I read to apply a cup of vinegar to a gallon of water ...so far it helped just a little. I am learning as I go.

This is a pleasure we can all sample...LC too! LOL!
