Our Colors

Lantana in our back yard garden is blooming so pretty right now! The entire bush is about three feet wide and has bunches of blooms all over it!
These Mums came back after dying down last year! They are filling three barrel-style planters on our back yard patio.
We grew some Mesculin, a type of lettuce, and now they have gone to seed and produced these beautiful blue flowers! The mesculin tasted very bitter, so we were not able to enjoy it in our salad bowls, but we are so happy with the pretty flowers it is producing right now! Jason even said we might plant it again next year, just for the flowers!

Butterfly plant...not sure what the name is, but it has about seven or eight of these cone shaped blooms on a long stalk! Very fragrant, too!
Our first gardenia bloom of the season! It smells soo wonderful! Now we have about five blooms, and hopefully more will come since I sprayed them with Miracle Grow last night.
Elephant ears and various colored Caladiums in the far left corner of our back yard. We used to have a Boganvilla bush there, but it didn't bloom very well due to the shade in that corner, so we planted these this year. They are doing really well!!
