The caladiums are back. The peacock ginger in the background will soon be disappearing.

Our wonderful (ha) humidity has returned very soon this year. We can only hope for some spurts of relief here and there over the next few weeks. Oh, I am so NOT looking forward to the next few months of summer humidity... waaa- waaaa
One of these days I'm going to try my hand at roses again although I have absolutely no where to put them now. Yours always tempt me to find a spot.
I WANT THAT BEGONIA! Wow. It is stunning. Where in the world can I find one or two?
Yummy tomato... I am so thrilled with fresh tomatoes from the garden.

Lotus begonia?? Ihave never heard of it. It must be a tropical plant. I love the leaves on it too.
Meems...You would think we would be used to it by now. Lots of trees do help though. I got that begonia from a neighbor and it is really "special." Her's was about 5 feet tall. I just love it. I would be happy to mail you a couple of leaves to see if you can get it started, if you like. If so, send me your address via my email: smyers25 at tampabay.rr.com
Lisa...It is really a neat plant - both the leaf and the flower. That's not often that both are special.
Susan: Do you think it's possible it could survive the mail? That would be so fabulous!
Meems...I will overnight it to you, but we'll need to do it soon.
Behind your Lotus Begonia is that dark pink stuff Cordyline? It kinda looks like it. I have some and it's not doing too well.
Welcome, Catlover. That pink plant is a Ti plant that belongs to my neighbor. He has a large bed of them.
Thanks, Ti plant is in the Cordyline family. I thought that's what it was. I have a burgundy one. I have read so many different things about it I can't decide if it does best in the sun or in part shade. I'm in Mississippi, so I relate to ya'lls temperatures. I would love to get some pieces from you sometime, my favorite part of gardeing is propigating leaves and stems.
I love yours and Meem's blogs. I am just getting into blogging and trying to figure out how everything works. Someday when I get the hang of it maybe I'll start a gardening blog like ya'll's.
