Campanula (aka: bellflower) - Thanks for the ident ISv! :)
I love this one! Very well done (and I'm saying what I mean)!

My contribution: first shot, well, just to show Riley what is growing home :P (well, my wife got this in between other things for her birthday a few days ago, no comparison with his real botanical garden :)!
Second one I got yesterday for the birthday (yesterday) of a friend - she likes everything from the nature...

Thank you ISv.
The phalaenopsis is beautiful. Your shot is equally nice.
With the weather you have there, you should grow dendrobiums! They're warm loving orchids and bloom well. There's is a great orchid grower in Maui with lots of orchids. Look into it.
Your second photo of the flower is great.

I envy the weather you have, very suitable to have lots of plants. We have to move our plants back and forth between the house and the deck in winter and summer. Lots of work, especially the bigger pots. And with the deer around, we can't grow them out in the yards.

While we were in Hawaii, we got a couple stumps of plumeria and they're growing leaves (3 to 4 inches) now, hope they'll grow bigger and bloom next year!
And when we left, we got some liliquoi seeds at the airport stores and many have sprouted. Another plant I hope to see to fruition! Love the flavor of passion fruit.

I have a neighbour who allows thistles to grow on the side of the road for wild birds.
I pull them surreptitiously :o.

Greatshots dpc!
Like DSF8626.jpg very much. And DSF8625.jpg, too.
Not so much of the plant in DSF8770.jpg, hahahaha ...

Thanks! I confess that I actually like thistles. As long as they're not growing in my yard, of course. 8)
