Just a quick post with a few pictures I  snapped of my garden and some of my favorite flowers a few minutes ago . This actually isn't a very good picture...the afternoon lighting isn't great for photography, and its a hot day, so some of the flowers are wilting or closed. I wish I had taken pictures this morning!

The first thing I do every morning is look out my bedroom window at my garden. A couple days ago I was thrilled to see the first "Only the Lonely" nicotiana flowers! Such impressive plants from such tiny seeds! The leaves are huge!

I have two malope plants, but one of them is so bushy it looks like two or three!

The other plant surprised me by blooming with pink and white flowers!

Never heard of Malope, so I had to look them up. Very nice!

I hadn't heard of them either until I saw them in my favorite heirloom seed catalog, and if it;s rare or old-fashioned I always want to grow it! I've never seen them in other gardens.
