Also we have 5 dogs 3 cats and 2 guinea pigs. our back yard may look a bit disastrous but it because of all the animals lol but we still try to make it work
Not too much of the lily beetle at all but we have big black and yellow grasshoppers that tear through things. It usually goes from hot and dry here to hot and wet. It feels like gardening in Jamaica some days lol. Our night blooming cereus has already flowered, now im really just waiting on the plumeria to flower ^-^
these pictures are of a double purple angel trumpet I've been growing from seed regularly through the past few years. I started them from the seeds my mom gave to me when she grew hers a few more years back. Despite what many say about white flowers having the most scent we have quite a few purple flowers that have a really strong smell. I'll have the seed pods in picture later in the year.
These flower are a passion vine grown from seed also a few years ago and come back each year like a perennial, also the double-purple angel trumpets also grow as perennials if done right, I just collect the seeds to make more ^-^
This plant I've always called a coral sea begonia. Not sure if that's the right name and only a handful of our plants I know the Latin names for. The flowers open up a little bit more and I'll have some pictures of those later as well hopefully lol. This particular plant is about 5 or 6 years old since I've had it( I got it from my sister so it's a bit older) and it was initially a housplant and the leaves and flowers were lighter, more transparent and pink, but as it was moved outside the color got darker and is now a deep red. The shoots come up like bamboo almost and can get lanky, but it can become more like a bush it trimmed right ^-^

Amazing garden, very natural but with structure.
i love lilies - do you suffer with Lily Beetle in SC or maybe it's too hot ?
I love your garden. Hope to see more

You have some beautiful plants. Some of them look as if they're from another planet!
