Darla all your plants look great. I can't believe how long that Creeping Jenny is.
How nice that you have your own citrus growing. I think that is really neat!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Everything looks nice. I can't imagine growing your own tangerines.
Darla: Your green thumb is truly showing in all your captures of the flowers and fruit. Neat butterfly photos also.
Wow, is it fun to see some of my favorite flowers still blooming. Great photos. Love the butterfly.
Darla, your garden still looks wonderful, and I'm very impressed with the fruit you are growing as well.
Such gorgeous flowers!
It would be great to walk out the back door and pick a tangerine or grapefruit.

All that fruit makes me jealous! It must smell so good when the trees are blooming. It seems like your flowers attract a lot of visitors.
Wonderful flowers and butterflies. I think Frances did a post on 'sheffies' last year that really talked of them. I've been spreading mine around lately. Love the long bloom period and its nice shiny face!
P.S. Here is the link to her post: http://fairegarden.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/the-sheffies/
What a fantastic array of plants, Darla. I wish I had all your butterflies, too.
Such pretty flowers and I love the delicate butterflies too. My hubby's parents once lived in FL and would send us the biggest lemons every year - they were like grapefruits! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for visiting today.
wondeful stuff...love all the shots with skippers, butterflies, and the like.
so glad you got those beautiful citrus growing...enjoy.
that was creeping jenny at our farm. it has done so well.
happy autumn.
Wow, look at the fruit. Darla do you have something blooming outdoors all year long?The picture of the butterfly on the petunia is a beaut.
Have a great weekend.
Wow, blooms, butterflies and fruit...you've got everything!!! It is beautiful too!!!
Lovely photos. THe butterflies are a nice touch too :). Have a nice weekend
Darla,
What a beautiful setting the flowers and butterflies are lovely. It is rainy and chilly in my neck of the woods so this was a treat to view.

I feel like I was at a flower party! Everything is so lovely! And that firespark is pretty cool! Also - I'm jealous that you have butterflies. I didn't get many this year.
wow girlfriend you have a lot of wonderful things going on in your gardens! I have never seen fruit on the tree in person...crab apples are the closest we get here...you are so lucky!
The butterflies are sticking around to be enjoyed I see...and that is just awesome!
have a great weekend friend. thanks for linking in!
You call in Lantana, I call it Long Tailed Skipper. You call it Petunia, I call it Silver Spotted Skipper. You call it Blue Bledder Salvia, I call it Gulf Fritillary. All in the point of view.
I started a new style scarf today.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I liked your flowers with the butterflies as bonus!
Oh I envy you all those yummy citrus fruits! I really need to add that Diamond Frost to my garden next spring. Everything looks great Darla. :)
Your flowers are still showing their spectacular colors. Ours have long faded.
Love the Monarchs, it's always nice to see them return each year.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos! Your own tangerines, how precious is that ?
Jo
Your place must be beautiful with all those flowers.
I would love to be able to grow all those fruits here on the farm.
How cool to be growing citrus! I love the coleus. -Jackie
