Our moonflowers are blooming and they smell so lovely! For those of you that have never grown moonflowers, they are just like morning glories except they open up at night and they have the most heavenly scent.:) They are large and white and have gorgeous dark green leaves Each flower lasts only one night...
See the grasshopper that is playing hide and seek on the zinnia? Every time I would try to get a better picture of him he would hide!
Look at these two friends. They happily shared the same flower.:)
Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Early this morning we had quite a storm blow through from 2:00- 6:00 AM. It was part of the remnants of Ivan and it was powerful! I can't imagine what it was like in Houston and the surrounding areas. Please pray for the people that were affected by Ivan. They have a rough road ahead of them...
I LOVE ZINNA'S!
ReplyDeleteWe are also getting a really big wind storm..it is horrible..we are expected to get rain with it also..Those poor people in TX.
Moonflowers are lovely! I love your photos and think maybe the grasshopper was shy ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine being in the path of a hurricane. The devestation that follows is horrifying. The families that have been touched by such destructive forces are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oh, wow! I'm going to have to find some moonflowers. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I love all your photo's of the wonderful flowers around your place!

Hi Lori!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting such a nice comment about my sewing on Sherry's blog! My girls are having a great time getting to know yours, too. Felicity talks about her friend Katie all the time. (beautiful flowers, by the way!)

ReplyDeleteLove your Playlist song, Pocket Full of Sunshine! ...one of my favorite songs! We do have a lot in common! :) Hope you had a great weekend! ~Rhonda
Moonflowers don't do well here - we got exactly one bloom last year. Yours are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYa know *winks* I wouldn't be surprised if you faeries playing in there! Among all the flowers!
ReplyDeleteI love the morning glories... they should be called evening glories! I'll have to look them up in my local nursery!
Beautiful pictures!
Moonflowers how cool! I did see an episode about including white in your garden to be able to enjoy your garden at night. Looks like I will be looking for seeds next spring. The kids will love this!
ReplyDeleteWow gorgeous photos! Yes, I've had moon flowers before. Not due to anything I did, we moved into a house where someone kindly planted them before us.
ReplyDeletebeautiful...if you click on the word stockings it will take you right to them.

Beautiful flowers! I have never seen moonflowers! I wish I could smell them. I love flowers that smell great--like gardenias and tea olive trees!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers look gorgeous. I love your personalized blocks also.
ReplyDeleteoooh...monflowers sound very nice and romantic n the right garden setting. Say near a swing or around a bistro. Note to self: check into growing habits of Moonflowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Oh and by the way love your banner. Quite clever.
