This wild orchid surprised me with flowers this week.
The white Pentas are ready for the bees.
The Dragon Wind Begonia is adjusting well to a new location in the garden
A beautiful pink rose
The Zinnias are hanging in there before they disappear for the summer
The flowers on this Coleus are as beautiful as the plant.

Absolutely fabulous display of blooms, you sure do have some beautiful colours there.
Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful plants and colors. I love that color of Hollyhock. At one time (in Canada) I had one that was such a deep purple it was almost black, it was gorgeous.
Great pictures and I am so glad to hear that the butterflies are free!
I can see why the hollyhock is your favorite. It's beautiful!
Your cosmos disappear in the summer? That is when ours take center stage. You have a lovely rose! And the pentas surely look ready for the bees.
Hi Rusty, your flowers look so luscious. And even writing the phrase, "The wild orchids surprised me with flowers", is miraculous. Your garden looks very inviting and lush. Your cosmos look a lot like the little zinnias here, one of our favorites for season long color. The hollyhocks are sensational. Thanks for all the great photos.

Beautiful color on that hollyhock. Lately I've been loving them again after a few years away from planting them. I see I need to plan for next year.
Thank you all for the nice comments, Frances thanks for the heads-up you are correct they are not Cosmos they are Zinnias
Hi Rusty. I love the virtual visit to Miami, where you always have something in bloom!

Dear Rusty, your garden looks beautiful adorned with such lovely blooms! I am again surprised to see the similarity in our garden blooms.
Best Wishes
WOW! That's a tropical garden you have there rusty. I absolutely love that hollyhooks, so much nicer than the ones we have here.
Hi Rusty! I'm very impressed with your Pentas. I tried to grow some from seed this year and failed miserably. Yours are looking fabulous. Oooh, love the moss roses too! -Jen :)
First..thanks for commenting on my blog. I moved from Sebastian (near Vero Beach) just two years ago & I am sooo impressed with your garden and the types of plants you grow..it is so unusual to see such a variety where you garden..kudos..keep it up..
PS Hollyhocks...yummm..one of my faves too.
You've got hollyhocks! Next year- they are on my list of flowers to acquire. Great blooms, Rusty.
Glad somewhere it is raining in Florida. We haven't had one drop in over 4 weeks... makes the garden very thirsty.
My mom always taught me to pinch the flowers off the Coleus, but after seeing yours, I'll be leaving them on. Your Begonia is so gorgeous, I think I might have to do a hanging basket this year.
BTW - I'm so excited for you that you have Swallowtail caterpillars. I would love to have a chrysalis, but I never seem to get any caterpillars.
I really love your garden. Your garden is getting more beutiful from day to day. Great color.
How nice that you ha some rain Rusty, your garden looks nice and lush now. Love those Hollyhocks, they are very pretty and I am amazed at how good your roses are doing. Well done you!
BTW the Coleus in flower looks very pretty too, I've never seen them in flower before. Here they are houseplants.
The colors on the orchids, hollyhocks and bougainvillea are superb!
