The flowers look very beautiful Kitty.

 

[mcpurple]

thank you for the kind offer mcpurp! do you still have the label? just because hippaestrum's are common enough here.... and i want to try cross pollinating my after8 lilies... i'll let u know if anything comes of it...

yes indeed i do, it says it is a red lion amaryllis.
and the thai basil looks nice, i just planted starts of basil im not sure what type but it has purp and green just like yours, so i think they might be the same type

 

[mellokitty]

aha. common name: red lion amaryllis. botanical name: hippaestrum 'red lion'.... thank you kindly for the offer but i'll save you the trouble since it's an indoor plant here

and yeah, i think a lot of european basils are all green....

 

[hazorazo]

[mellokitty]

thank you.... you've reminded me to do an update.

some more shots from the twilight garden.......
the "after 8" lilies are finally starting to bloom...

^these are a lot prettier in the sun; i'll try to remember to take some more tomorrow^

 

[mellokitty]

no longer a "herb table"....

[mellokitty]

the twilight garden:

this is not the best quality photo, but i'm including it because it gives an idea of my favourite time to have a puff in the garden.... wish i had smell-o-vision to share the evening lilies with you....

 

[mellokitty]

and one more for good measure:

[mellokitty]

thank you... i have 16 of those pink lilies all together. if they all bloom at the same time my poor man is going to die of hayfever

 

[DSB65]

Those are nice...all my flowers i grew have died due to heat and grass hopers..but i did clone some of my grandpaws rose bushes and there doing great.....rep....

 

[mellokitty]

grasshoppers! *egad*

you know, i'm constantly complaining about the weather here (and hating a little bit on people in places with longer growing seasons ), but i have to remind myself that with the heat comes the bugs.
i can't imagine what i'd do about grasshoppers. (although my friend's grandma swears they have tasty back legs... eeeeeeewwwwwww)
