Things are getting into full swing here....  Seems like every time I turn around something else has bloomed...  Here are some shots from this last week:

Beautiful, Mike!!  Get in line DoubleS  ;D

I love the broms you have growing in the trees.  Love the one with the blue flower and the one in the first pic.  I was at Rodgers Garden yesterday and I saw the most beautiful Clematis and that's the one you have too.  So beautiful!  I can't believe such beautiful blooms from such a small stem.

Is that a bold red bloom a poppy?  Name?  Gorgeous!

......and for those who are lucky enough to have visited Mikey's garden, you will realize this is just the pre-show.

I have always thought your garden should be listed in "L.A. area attractions"

Hummer and butterfly action?

Cheers,

Mike

Mikey, your garden looks beautiful.   O0  Quite a plant collection.  I really like your yellow clivia.  May I ask where you got it?  Is that pyracantha in picture twelve?

Thanks all. 

Sonny: I don't recall where I purchased the yellow Clivia.  It's quite common now in most nurseries here.  A friend has some variegated ones that I really like.....but I lack the $ to purchase any....  You are correct about the Pyracantha.  With all those flowers it should look nice come Christmas....
