Oh well.<br />So many beautiful blooms in your garden! Don't pull out the Anemones!!! I keep them in containers because they won't do well here in the soil. Treasure them Rosemary. They're standing so proudly against the beautiful wall. Love the Calla Lilies as well; So amazing they survived several winters outside. And the Lilies Davidii are fantastic! Love the variety of Morning Glory in your garden as well. So pretty!<br />Marianflowersandhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262453899981838266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-11258183285095322742014-08-06T12:03:29.105+01:002014-08-06T12:03:29.105+01:00Big congratulations Janneke & very well doneBig congratulations Janneke & very well doneRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-87265320590565652222014-08-06T08:01:13.366+01:002014-08-06T08:01:13.366+01:00That is annoying Jim - computers can be very frust...That is annoying Jim - computers can be very frustrating from time to time.

The quiz flower is quite a beauty, and I look forward to knowing the answer. Your morning glories are very attractive, and it is a flower I recognize and like. However, in Australia it has become an invasive weed and I don't believe we are even permitted to cultivate it any longer. We see it sometimes smothering the vegetation along creeks in the bush.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-8287028633800314072014-08-05T22:25:05.269+01:002014-08-05T22:25:05.269+01:00Thanks dear Titti - all will be revealled tomorrow...Thanks dear Titti - all will be revealled tomorrow.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-90163781869363191762014-08-05T21:39:27.972+01:002014-08-05T21:39:27.972+01:00I haven´t a clue what that flower can be...
