Angel Time

A peak around the corner from the parking area reveals the unmistakable star of the garden this past weekend~ Brugmansia, Angel's Trumpet. I'm not sure if this is a named Brug although it could very likely be 'Frosty Pink'. This plant was left in its large plastic pot against the house over winter a couple of years ago and to my surprise it has thrived ever since- having rooted thru the pot. Benign neglect paid off this once.



Hibiscus 'Red Flyer' is going to bless me with another bloom after taking a brief vacation.



We have lovely spent blooms~ these from the Pineapple Lily~



and future blooms such as these from Hibiscus grandiflorus being guarded by a Green Lynx spider.



A shady spot is always welcome.



My all around favorite garden plant~ Salvia. This is a seedling from S. farinacea 'Henry Duelberg' In its many different forms Salvia pulls my sprawled out garden beds together with something in bloom from start to finish of the growing season.
