I bought some pink Petunias for fall/winter color.......mmm, this little lady has white lace on the bottom of her dress..
Firebush behind the Pineapple Sage....been clearing my paths..
I had one lone Melampodium return from last year. Poor thing, my husband ran over it with the lawn mower a few weeks ago...hopefully it will reseed...

Mexican Bush Sage prefers a little drought. It just lays down when it has too much rain!
Man! These Balloon Flowers have done great all summer.
Ragin Cajun Ruellia---this is one I rooted off of the Mother plant. Zinnias' in the background.

Unusual petunia and I love the Datura. Raining here too--for the last several weeks.

I really like the Pineapple sage, I've been seeing it on a lot of blogs recently. I wonder if it grows here? I tried Gomphrenas this year but none came up, they had been given to me. I didn't realize what cute little flowers they were.
The Datura is really pretty!
No wonder my Mexican sage is laying down. It can't be happy with all this rain. I signed up for the seed swap already.
Darla!!! Your flowers are still looking so good! It finally is sunny and melting here...the grass is green...except for the family of snow men that the kids made...there is no snow left!
I remember one day that the neighbor across the street came and asked if I was taking a photography class...cause I was always taking photos of my plants! does anyone ask you? lol
I love looking in your gardens...I see something new everytime...loving those paths!
Hi Darla~~ Very nice flowers. I'm glad you are getting a bit of rain despite Salvia leucantha's protestations. Plants. I swear sometimes they just don't know what's good for them.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous...you have such an awesome variety. Seeing all your lovely blooms makes me miss mine even more.
Darla: Another beautiful set of photos you have to share.
What a pretty Petunia. I used to have a huge MExican Sage, they are such an awesome plant. I love your Datura! GOrgeous!!
*hugs*deb
Such beautiful flowers!
Gorgeous flowers, as usual!! All are very beautiful, but love the purple double Angel Trumpet, and the last picture!!!!
Hi Girlie----We are in Florida tonight (Jacksonville). My brother's Memorial Service is tomorrow. We left TN this morning when it was 46 degrees. When we got to Jax, it was 82... But--like you said, it's going to be cooler tomorrow.
Love your flowers. My Vinca didn't do very good this year... I think it was because I separated them plants. They usually do GREAT for me. Your Vinca is gorgeous. I also love the Petunia with the white lace on her. Beautiful!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Darla, It is suppose to be in the 40's for us too this weekend. I am under covers right now trying to stay warm.
Beautiful flowers Darla. Hope everything does ok with the cooler temps.
So gorgeous! I really love the Datura. Hope all has been well in your part of the state, nice cool weather for our weekend :-)
The flowers are so pretty with the rain drops.
We are having similar weather right now Darla. I love that Datura & Mexican Bush Sage. But then I'm always a fan of purple blooms. ;) It's about 50 degrees here today, brrr... By the way I love your new header, great shot!!!
We finally got some rain yesterday (the first in over two weeks). I think you all got our share this summer. You sure do have lots of blooms going on between this and your GBBD. You are right about that Mexican Bush Sage ... it much prefers hot and dry.
Hey... do you ever go to Just Fruits and Exotics down in Crawfordville or the Purple Martin on Crawfordville road - closer to Wakulla?
Hi Darla! Thanks for the comments on my blog! Have loved reading yours as well!
That's beautiful! I like all of your petunia flowers..
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
