For some stupid reason(me) I can't get my pictures from my photos to here. So, go to my photos to see them. ANYWAY-yesterday morning as I was doing my morning survey, there they were! THREE blooms. My hand is in one of the photos to show the size of the bloom. Some are supposed to smell, mine never does (I've got lots of smelly 'other' things though! :). I have another bloom this morning, and 2 small buds. I'll need to go around the yard and check the others, now.

My Bird of Paradise is producing a flower stalk even though it looks like I ought to pull it up. Still waiting on my first cucumber and my zuchinni ...My tomatoes that I trimmed back are blooming, and I actually have 2 small tomatoes on them. The HeatWave tomato is doing good, it has 3 tomatoes, also; I think it needs more sun, I didn't figure on the crepe myrtle getting as full as it did, too late now!! And Eggplant, eggplant, eggplant!

Lots to do today! Fertilizer day, watering (even though everything durn near drowned 2 days ago!), and CUT DA GRASS!! Peanut may get to ride in the gator again, today. My leg/hip is starting to feel some better with therapy; wish I could move around better, I'd get a WHOLE lot done!

More to come, later---gators!

carolyncat353	Jul 19, 2008 \| 1:33 PM PST I am in zone 9, so winters are fairly mild. If we are projected to have several days in a row below 40, I move it into my storage shed-but it gets no special care. A little water, more sun than shade and minimal fertilizer. After I found out what it was, I researched and found there are different kinds. I have seen this one planted in a flower bed at a business entrance.
