Good morning Everyone ~ Well, thunderstorms are coming our way today bringing another cold front. It is supposed to get down to 49 and feel like it's 42 tonight. The rain will be great and another bit of chilly weather will be nice too. So far it's partly cloudy, sun peeking out from between the clouds occasionally. It's warm also, but that will change this afternoon.
I want to thank Darla for the name of my hibiscus, Jane Cowell Hibiscus, in last post. Also thanks to Florida Girl for the name St. Joseph's Lily of the Hippeastrum family for the real name of the Ditch Lily. Ami thanks to you for reminding me of the type of orchid Epidendrum that I have, also known as Reed Orchids.
Thank you all for the comments on the hearts that DH made from seashells.
Pictures below are from the last couple of days.
The first few are of Basket Plant, Callisia fragrans, blooms. The bees love this and their little legs get loaded with pollen. The scent of these flowers is delicately sweet. I love them.
Cocktail Roses.

Bougainvillea blooms.

Queen Crepe with only a couple of leaves hanging on. DH asked me the other day if it was dead, I told him no, the new growth will be happening shortly.
