I am really excited about this Hibiscus.
I finally found some more Phlox. I have the delicious deep pink of the Nikki, now I have the White David and the Lavender Blue Boy.
I could not resist this ceramic tennis shoe planter for .25 at a new second hand store. New second hand store sounds funny...
**Guys and Dolls I am so sad to report that one of my gardening blogger buddies, Gina at http://antique-art-garden.blogspot.com in South Carolina received devastating news yesterday afternoon by phone. Her youngest daughter 21, was killed in an automobile accident. Please take a moment to drop by and leave your thoughts and prayers in her comments...This is one of those times when the news just takes my breath away.**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I am Thankful once again for bloggers and their compassion for other bloggers.

So sorry to hear about Gina's daughter. So sad!
Pretty flowers again! Love those Phlox! So sad to lose a child! I came close to losing mine.
Nothing is much harder than losing a child, no matter what the age.
Lord Baltimore is a favorite in this garden! Larry
Such terrible terrible sad news for Ginger. Words can't express a person's sympathies in these times at all.
That is really sad news Darla. I'll keep that family in my prayers.
Love your sneaker. What a great deal!
I like that shoe planter!
I'm sorry to hear of the tragic death of your blogging friend's daughter.
Good luck with the new plants.
I saw Gina's post.
I cannot imagine.
Oh Darla, that is any parent's worst nightmare. I am so sorry and will drop by her blog and keep her in my prayers.
Keeping Gina and her family in our prayers.
love the shoe....Girl...I am not familiar with this blogger...but I am on my way!
hugs girlie!
I have the lavender Blue Boy. It has been in the same location for several years. I suppose I should consider moving it or digging it up and adding some nutrients. But it blooms, full, and beautiful.
I like the hibiscus too.
Do you have a homemade recipe you would share with our readers? No, you don't have to be fat to share them.

I did leave a message on Gina's blog. This is such sad news. It really makes one stop and be thankful for our loved ones.
Love your new babies there. Can't wait to see them grow up. What a cute planter too.
Have visited Gina and left a message.
Flowers always is a blessing to see at times like this.
I just went to Gina's blog, Darla. Losing a child has to be the hardest thing we would encounter... I feel so sorry for that family..
Love your flowers... AND the new shoe is fabulous....
Hugs,

Oh, Darla, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's daughter.
I have David and Blue Boy. Love them both and neither has any disease or other problems. Of course your garden is different than mine but I thing you will love them.

Hi Darla. You are going to love the Lord Baltimore hibiscus. Mine is blooming now and the giant red blooms are so pretty.Two great phlox choices also.Smell divine.
I was so sad to hear about the tragedy that has happened in Gina's family. It is so hard to loose a child. Our prayers are certainly going to be with her and her family now.
Darla: Really cool header, if that is in Tampa, I was there.
Sorry to hear of the tragedy.
Oh, that is so sad.My prayers are with her.
Blessings,Ruth
Rock-on Darla.
Neat Header.
A good header there Darla. I've been to their restaurant in Dubai, which has closed now. We had one in Nottingham, but that ones gone too.
Sorry about your friend.
So sorry to hear that about Gina's daughter.

Sad to loose a child, but Gina's faith is strong and God Will Guide Her.
Your shoe is cool.
Also, the phlox, of which I have 4 colors, smell so great in the evening mist. I have them under my window and the scent fills the room at night.

Hi Darla, Yes I was just at Gina's blog and saw that horrendous news. I can't even fathom her agony. She really needs God's touch.
Lord Baltimore reminds me of Lord Voldermort. LOL I insist you post a photo when he blooms. :)
I have 'David' phlox and it is a great plant. Interestingly when it was young I dug it up to move it to another location but apparently I didn't get all the roots and now the original area has a tall lovely stand of it. Since then I've come to realize that all phlox do this for me. No matter how deep I dig to get the root ball a small piece will remain in the soil and grow another plant. Needless to say I've got phlox everywhere. But I love it.
25 cents? Are you kidding me? I would have grabbed it too. Good eye!! Sounds like the new second hand store is going to be a winner!
Oh Darla, I went over to see Gina and leave her a few words. It is just devestating news. It sure makes you realize how you better love everyone while you have them. It has brought me to tears thinking about that. I pray she will be OK (Gina). Thanks for telling us so we could go by and leave her some words.
