Your flowers are all so unusual and beautiful it's difficult to pick a favorite but I just loved the butterfly ginger.<br /><br />I have to confess though that everyone around seems so knowledgeable about plants that I feel more than a little lost!Sujatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183091192544993357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-77744840421908964752009-10-05T09:56:27.004-04:002009-10-05T09:56:27.004-04:00Helen...as always, your blooms are lovely!

This is one time I will take a trip to North America for a month...only I can't leave my hubby to take care of things. I think it is the same Shailaja who visit Urban Green's blog and Lotus leaf as well! My, my, a scientist? Well I am in awe, to be surrounded by brilliant minds and brilliant writers like you. Whew! <br /><br /><br />Indianhomemaker......A big hug and a huge welcome to my blog garden! Thank you for coming. The pink flower does look like a verbena but it is called a bush penta or pink panama rose. Yes it is really hot here and I am gardening by moonlight now LOL. <br /><br /><br />Green thumb.......the purple orchid is also my favorite too! Whenever I have guest to dinner or lunch I love to decorate the patio where we eat with flowers from my garden.islandgal246https://www.blogger.com/profile/09139072456332225087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-46620583400353290452009-10-03T15:17:43.069-04:002009-10-03T15:17:43.069-04:00Dear Helen, your blooms look beautiful!

Not sure about that though. It looks great next to the white mussaenda.<br />Those pink flowers are so pretty. I must look out for it here too. (I wonder whether that was the same Shailaja who used to come over to The Urban Gardener some time back? If she is, then she's a scientist, or so I remember her saying, so no wonder she knows all that information... I'm impressed! )Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4783732461624617508.post-21398831922185958292009-10-02T17:52:00.082-04:002009-10-02T17:52:00.082-04:00Lotus leaf .......the purple orchid is a phaldendr...Lotus leaf .......the purple orchid is a phaldendrobium.
