We were spared the wrath of Isaac. Overcast with rain on and off is all we have experienced so far. Prayerfully we won't have any flash floods this afternoon. Along with all the rain we have received this summer have come the pesky, blood sucking, West Nile infected mosquitoes. I spent less than 10 minutes outside this morning and was bitten on both my feet The photos are blurry and slightly foggy from the humidity. Here is my contribution to Bloomin' Tuesday.

| Cardinal Vine or Cypress Vine - I have recently learned there is a slight difference in the two. The foliage is a little more feathery and the seeds a bit more slender on one, other than that no differences. Either way the hummers enjoy both of them the same. Invasive here, it will smother any plant close by. You should keep an eye out when growing this "in" the garden. |

| Knockout Rose - Yellow.... |
 |
Cordyline in the back left, this is it's third year here. Cordyline and blue Fescue grass in the container. I love Fescue.
The potato vine in winding it's way through all the plantings and containers in this garden. |
Grocery store rose.
 |
| Heirloom Coneflowers, forefront. Turk's Cap has become more shrub like. I will be taking cuttings to propagate over the winter as this plant is not only a Texas Superstar , in my book it's a Florida Superstar. |
When I planted this Juniper in the fall 2010 it was barely visible in the container. It has grown faster in the container than the ones I planted in the ground.
 |
| Firespike is looking good. I have about 6 or so propagated in this flower garden, there is also a couple of purple ones yet to bloom. A gift from a fellow southern gardener. |

| Still making jewelry.. |
Have a Blessed Day!

Darla your garden is full of bright colour. Love the jewellery.
I just got some Cardinal Vine or Cypress Vine seeds from a fellow blogger. Planted a few, saving the rest for next summer. The few I sowed have taken off, hope it will bloom soon.
Glad you were spared Isaac, I pity New Orleans.
I like your Turk's cap. All of your plants look fabulous. Stay safe!!!
I'm so glad Isaac moved away from us! By the way, the meme on my blog today was started by a friend of mine in Australia who likes to wander through cemeteries taking pictures. I guess that's what taphophile means. I had never heard of it before either!
Love the cardinal flower- what a striking color!
I always love seeing confeflowers and roses!
I had some blue chip junipers once but they got so aggressive I ended up removing them. I never thought about planting something like that in a pot! It looks pretty cool though!
That cypress vine is so vibrant! Love the coneflowers!
Hope you are feeling good and out of pain.
I like that container that your shrub is in. The cypress vine has such a nice bold flower. Too bad it's invasive.
I am glad to hear that Issac did not cause too much damage. I hope New Orleans fares as well.
Lovin' all the color! The yellow Knock Out is lovely! I'm sure glad you missed the worst of the storm. Jean
Darla, as much as I love your flowers, and I do, I love to see your jewelery.
Those are amazing, I only wish I could wear jewelery, I would be snapping it up from your Etsy store.

Seems the whole world is suffering from feast or famine. Or flooding and drought. Glad you were spared the wrath of Isaac but it gave us the first really good soking in months.
Your garden is lovely. I keep saying I am going to plant some cornflowers. Perhaps next spring I will finally get to them.
Hi Darla,
So glad to hear you were spared by Isaac. Your garden is beautiful and I'm so sorry to hear about the bad mosquitoes in your area. It is no fun trying to garden when you get bit. They love me too and I swell up when I get a bite.
Thanks for stopping by my site. Hey, if you take some of our drought, we'll take some of your humidity.
My cardinal vine just started blooming. I'm hoping for a lot of those little red flowers. Glad Isaac wasn't any trouble for you.
Pretty treasures at the end. You sure make lovely pieces.
We have mosquitoes bad too. It's been awful for them and we haven't even gotten much rain.
Hi Darla, Glad you were spared the worst of the storm. We need rain --so we hope to get a tiny bit from this storm.. It seems to be going all around us.
Not a fan of Knock-outs--but love your grocery store rose. Very pretty.
Hugs,
Betsy
That Firespike is just so pretty Darla. Never saw that one before. Your jewelry is just so pretty. I love what you are making now. Hope you do not get too much rain. If so send it up our way.
Full of colour and Art my friend, glad you're safe too.
Those nasty mosquitos always get me too...we must be super sweet!
You have a lot of color in your garden; gorgeous!
So glad Isaac was easy on you....I feel so bad for LA and Mississippi!
xoxo
Your garden is most beautiful. You can even make an overused blue juniper choice in this area, look absolutely gorgeous. That says a lot.
