I have become a fan of ti leaves for their ease of growth and propagation and pretty foliage-hence I now have 6 colors/kinds-all taken from cuttings from friends..Tirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05253130857755408695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-66416690512031567302008-02-20T19:38:00.000-06:002008-02-20T19:38:00.000-06:00I like your two-toned Bougainvillea - is it ever l...I like your two-toned Bougainvillea - is it ever lovely. I wish I lived in a place where I could see Ruellia grow year round along with different kinds of Salvia. I love red Salvia.<BR/><BR/>Best are the blooms on your spineless cactus - are they ever cool!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03979577122006222781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-50572758246814864022008-02-20T07:22:00.000-06:002008-02-20T07:22:00.000-06:00Kylee - you have made me realize I don't even know...Kylee - you have made me realize I don't even know the name of my bougainvilleas. I always describe them by their color. I think I'll be needing to learn some more complete names . . . Glad you enjoyed my blooms. GBBD was a fun exercise!<BR/><BR/>Carol - We do have gardening rest-time in deep south Texas - it's during the heat of the summer! I'm sure Aiyana from Water from Dry can relate to that!<BR/><BR/>Aiyana - My recent visit to my mother in Phoenix renewed my love of desert plants. I'll have to satisfy that with your photos. <BR/><BR/>Wicked Gardener - Reading blogs has helped me find the similarities my area has with Florida gardens. I'll look forward to checking what you're doing in your garden often. <BR/><BR/>Mary BethMary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888999648897092221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-75030959189003871932008-02-19T18:17:00.000-06:002008-02-19T18:17:00.000-06:00I second Aiyana.

It's nice to see a blog that contains many of the plants that I'm familiar with--I love learning about new plants, but reading about the same plants from another's perspective is special. I'll enjoy visiting your blog!<BR/>AiyanaAiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965231556910803575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118703221138865382.post-1958913885935508802008-02-17T16:36:00.000-06:002008-02-17T16:36:00.000-06:00You are certainly cultivating paradise down there ...You are certainly cultivating paradise down there in Texas.
