Pretty portulaca Steve. I have it growing wild in my beds and lawn. Mine are not as pretty.

Gitti and all, I made a discovery today that if you click on your picture that you inserted in a post, to resize very simply, you just click on your picture, watch for little white squares to appear in the corners of your pic or along in the middle of its sides, take your mouse pointer or finger and hit lightly those white squares or boxes (they are sizing squares) and move them in ir back out, up or down to any size you like. Hit save. You can do this in the edit mode, too. It actually might be safer to resize this way while you are in the edit mode after you do your original post!  Then just hit the "save changes" box. At least I can do it this way in my tablet. Maybe not everyone can do it this way in their computer. Try it! Kind of fun!

These are a few of my shorter flowers - all under 2 feet.  Hope they stay that way as they are all at the front of their beds.

Butterfly Kisses

Secret Joy

Marg, it looks like a sort of Crape Myrtle...not sure...Wow!, nice to know what is going on with Amish people nowadays...there is an outdoor furniture store very close to us, the owners are Amish from back east, but still not many around here...I saw some using cameras at Glacier Point.
Mel, beautiful pics.. and MM, that's a sweet pic of DM.   Enjoying all postings

Marg...great picture, but I do't recognize the bush.  Our Amish are more modern...even have lights using generators.  For some reason many of us do not get those white resizing boxes you mentioned.  We've talked about it before.

Joan..what beautiful border plants...really love those coneflowers!

Ili...great pictures...more to follow of the Botanical gardens?  Charlene

Thanks,Charlene! It may be because i use PB?

Marg, I don't have those resizing points. I use the IPad & Photo Bucket as well. That would be so handy though! Too bad it doesn't work like that for all of us!

Hmmm, wonder why? Are you sure? Just tap on the picture butnot too hard! Then the resize boxes por squares pop up. You might miss them if you dont know what to expect! I will try to post a screen shot of what it looks like when I can.

Here is what is looks like. I took a screen shot my today's pic, then took a pic of that with my cp. You tap on your picture. The boxes will go away really quick of you dont act fast and tap or put your mouse cursor on it, then drag to resize bigger or smaller.  can you see the tiny boxes on each corner, then there are some along the sides, too. anyone have this on their computer? They go away real fast! I think you might have to do this in edit.

Great screen shot, Marg, and maybe it will show others what to look for. I do NOT have those squares appear.  I am not sure if it is because of our personal settings or the browser we use...but I do NOT have any white boxes like that with that resizing option.  Charlene

Testing: Still trying to figure out a good size that will post

Kathy, nice flowers! Love their color!
Charlene, not sure why i can do this neat resizing thing and others cant! Maybe my samsung tablet

Marg, looks like a crape myrtle to me too.

One more test, sorry Steve.

Gayle... Those are some pretty flowers with lots of color..........This is the first year I've had these moss roses so not sure if they will reseed or not but I kinda think they will. I had some many years ago and they did.

Ili... Thats some really nice pictures. I really love that beach picture. Makes me wanna go but its kinda far for me to drive.

Marnee... What a good picture of your Mom. That hydrangea really has grown and isn't it amazing how it has changed colors over time.

Charlene... You always seem to have such pretty plants in containers. That little girl also seems to admiring them.

Melissa... Those are some really good pictures. I especially liked those of that refreshing looking water falls. Also a great picture of the windmill and those kids. Kinda think they might be yours lol....... Did you really ask Charlene if she was going to over winter a flower ? lol

Gitti... Thats a really pretty pictures of your flowers. Those salvia look like they are in full bloom.

Abey... Yes you did figure it out. Thats such a beautiful pink as well.

Marg... That picture is a really clear and good picture. I think your bush might be a crape myrtle.

Leslie... My moss roses had turned kinda pale so I gave them a little slow release fertilize and they really responed very well.

Joan... What pretty flowers in your pictures. I really like that tiger kitten day lily............Glad you made it over here with us.

Ili... Nice picture. I'm sure those botanical gardens are beautiful.

Kathy... What a great picture. Those flowers are so colorful. All that practice was apparently well worth the wait.

Thanks everyone for all of todays great pictures and comments.
