Rainy days and Sundays

  I am growing Rudbeckia for the first time. The seeds were given to me by my mother who sadly passed away in February this year.

 Dwarf sunflowers pygmy

 This lovely celosia is a volunteer an offspring of many I grew last year.

 The arbour now has a yellow mandevilla running on it and some ponds on the side adding interest.

 Dragon fruit aka pitaya

 Mamey sapote fruiting for the first time.

Recent rains have filled the ground pond and we will soon be seeing water lilies appearing.

Hello folks, we had some real rain yesterday and last week due to tropical waves in the area. The island was on flood watch until 6 pm yesterday. On Friday it rained all day and I made some soup. It was deeelicious! I will post the recipe later.

Wishing you all a great week gardening!

Hello and welcome to GBBD where gardeners around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. Yesterday we had a day of rain after a long dry spell.  It felt good! 

I have been trying to grow some Matthiolas aka night scented stocks  and I cant get them to bloom. I have lost several but these here are holding on. Anyone who has had experience growing these please drop me a line on how to get them to bloom.
