An Evening Walk Through The Garden...


The Hibiscus are Blooming! The white ones are big and pretty...

...let's go see a few more...


...The red ones are also beautiful with the sun glowing through them...

....But the pink ones are, IMHO, the most gorgeous by far!
The Giant form of Castor Bean is getting big, but nothing like 2 years ago, when it got to about 12 feet high! Cooler summer caused it, i guess.

I didn't plan the Anemone coming up through my "Tiger Eye" Sumac, but it looks like i did!

The Red Cypress is just beginning to bloom -( the hummy birds will be happy)!

The "Cherokee Daybreak" Dogwood still looks awesome, despite a little sunburn on the leaves

My "Silver Cloud" Redbud COMPLETELY died last winter- but i refused to give up on it, waited and waited, and it finally began to sprout again! Looks great (short, but great). Note the Lotus and Butterbur in the background.

The Boston Ivy (this one is supposedly taken directly from the ivy growing in Wrigley Field) is growing well all over the trunks of the peach tree we cut down a few years ago.

....The peas are getting cranky!....(Peas by Carruth - paint job by me!)

CRICKIT! Get outta the way!

Now that she moved, this is what i was aiming at- the fish look hungry...

Koi, Rosey Reds, and Goldfish add a calm conclusion to our walk
