A few more things hanging around the garden

The shrimp plant doesn't hate me so much now.

Nice photos everyone!

Well yesterday I took a few pics while it was sunny. I get sun for about an hour in the evening and an hour in the morning.

And earlier in the year:

[LaL 418]

Your jasmine looks so pretty creeping up the trellis!

[Nasturtium 500]

Thanks! It is loaded with buds and I have such high hopesssss! It's definitely filling out. I think it could look really amazing in another year or two, although i may not have that with it

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

Your flowers are breathtaking, LaL & Nasturtium - so beautiful !

And I must say that is one fine-looking feline, LaL - what a handsome cat

I keep taking photos of the right side confederate jasmine, but I also have one on the left - and the flowers are yellow and it has a completely different fragrance - carolina jasmine maybe? There is also something underneath the jasmine in the above pic, it flowers orange, but I am unsure what it is. I think I have a picture of it alone I took last year.

ETA: hrm.. maybe not carolina. its only slightly yellow.

Nasturtium. What a sweet little space you made.

[Nasturtium 500]

Thanks guys!

Yeah LaL, it's too late for Caroline Jessamin, but maybe in another pic we can figure it out.

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

Pics !!!! We can try to identify (this will be much easier if it is still blooming)

Nasturtium I can't believe how many plants you have growing on that balcony - it must be a lovely place to sit and have tea

[Nasturtium 500]

Yeah! It is, although it is a short season of when it's nice and there are no mosquitoes...

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

Nasturtium.......

Do you have any experience with the Black Iris (I. nigricans or possibly I. petreana) in the wild or in cultivation ?

Today's garden pix

Vitex tree - covered in bees and butterflies

Crinum lilies - almost done but still pretty

What is it ? I don't know

Cold-blooded murderer - he left HALF a small garden snake in my shower the other day (

i became addicted to flowers just because of your unique collections.

thank you...

[Nasturtium 500]

Oh no about the murder

Your noid-- I think it's Sphagneticola trilobata because of the leaves. Do you think so?

I don't have any practical experience with the black iris. I was just alking about it the other day with Ammar though. Are you thinking to try to grow it?
