That is a pretty plant, flts!!

Raymo/Chet, use photo bucket! The gallery is still a PIA to use.

Our tomatoes are still green, but we are eating garden cukes, and tomorrow a yellow zucchini! Love the fresh out of they yard veggies.

Beautiful orchids.

We've gone to the orchid show at the NY Botanical Gardens a couple of times.

The variation in orchids is amazing. I remember seeing ones that looked like little angels.

I'm stubborn! Here you go:







I've had to resort to steel fence posts to stake them. If something bad happens I've got a great recipe for fried green tomatos.

Cucumbers and a few sunflowers (not sure they will make it) the cukes are going nuts! They didn't have the bush plant variety available this year.


Peppers


Tomatoes and yellow zucchni


Coleus

Cosmos


Flowers


More flowers


A bee doing it's thing


A different zinnia. I like the inside of the flower. Looks like little stars


I only wish our gardening season was longer!

Nice, flts. Where are all these orchids located? I know nothing about growing or is it raising orchids.

They grow in orchid boxes which hang all over my backyard. I've got them in trees, or anywhere else I can put one where it gets the right water and light. I rotate them around a lot depending on what's blooming. I have an open roofed area about 8 by 16 that has a misting system installed and a hammock in the middle. Orchids hang and grow all around the hammock. Pretty cool place to take a nap.
