The only milkweed I have blooming is the Orange Glory.
This was last mo. It is now on it's 2nd bloom. I need to get a better picture.
Still having issues with PI. Some work & some don't.
I have another weird mushroom in my Daylily bed this yr. Saw this one this morning.
This was last year's
Looks like it might be the same kind, just not as big. Apparently Mushrooms are OK with PI.

That is weird, Gayle, both the mushroom and the fact that PI will only allow you to post those pics.

I forgot to tell you Karen; I have had both pink & white milkweed I think both have died out. The pink lasted longer than the white. And this spring I bought 2 pink from the local Native Plant Sale. They are doing good, getting tall but I don't expect any blooms this year.

Charlene-Pretty blush color on those. Mary-Nice to get favorable weather that extends a bloom time. Gayle-Looks like a “fun-guy”!😂 Bet-Pretty Begonia baskets. Borage. A volunteer each year. I planted them once. Indian Pipe, native growing in the woods. Such a unique plant. Once its pollinated the flower will stand up straight. It produces no chlorophyl, hence its white color.

Gayle, wow that is a good size mushroom. I usually post pictures from My FB takes a little work to get them to a reasonable size. However, after a few days my photos disappear here. Bet, you have some lovely Begonia baskets. Melissa, those are some really unique plants. Saw this on FB from the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and thought it was interesting. They said: We are more than just tulips on our farm Our family is staying busy growing a variety of crops for multiple uses. The grass you sometimes park in is now being harvested for grass seed. We are growing buckwheat this year to help fix phosphorus levels in the soil our tulips will be planted in next year. We also trialed white mustard as a bio fumigation method to minimize disease in our future tulip fields. While all these crops have a purpose, we enjoy capturing the beauty they hold. It may not be as colorful as a tulip field, but it is a close second.

Bet, I am not sure I understand either, When I look at pictures on my desktop computer the pictures I posted on July 18, 2023 and July 19, 2023 are not there. I just checked my iPad and I can see those pictures. I’m not sure why the photos would disappear on my desktop and not on the iPad.

Marnee if you are not using postimages.org that is the problem. You need to use some sort of 3rd party software. We are not set up to stop pictures on proboards. That cost money and the way we operate everything is free. If you want some help let me know in a PM. It is quite simple and as far as resizing that can be done when you transfer them to postimages.

Mary, electronics are great when they work the way we think they should. Your pictures on here stay here.
I don't really have pictures on FB other than the few I post in replies or use for cover photo,etc; I'm thinking of looking into Google Pictures. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
Good they can re-cycle their fields that way.
Let's see what I can do today.
First 3 pictures were a no, but this one worked.

That's assuming it works which lately it has not been doing so well for me. No idea why.

Bet, I like your begonia baskets. Really pretty! I can imagine how peaceful your water feature sounds. 😊 I am smiling ear to ear, Melissa, at your mention and pic of the borage. The same thing happened to me. I planted it once because I wanted "blue" blooms in the flower beds. That was quite a few years ago. Each year since, I have had borage coming up somewhere in a bed here or there. That Indian Pipe is very unusual! Cool pics no matter what is growing on the tulip farm, Mary M. Gayle, your hydrangea tree is really neat. Before our storms hit this afternoon, I wanted to be sure I took a few pics outside. The tiny little dianthus is really pretty. I thought it might be bigger, but I still love it. Brachycome in the other pot is actually blooming in a new shade of purple. That was a nice surprise. The nasturtium is brightening up the pot with the lobelia in it. Looks better in person. 😉 Volunteer! Thank you, birds. Not many roses still blooming right now, but this one is looking pretty. Perennial sweet peas that I am actually glad reseeded themselves across the sidewalk from where I planted them. We took out the area where I had been growing them. Once I realized they had jumped the sidewalk, I put a trellis in for them. I think I'll really like them where they are now. These are all volunteer cypress vines that I transplanted into this bench planter just as an experiment. I think it worked out at least as good as I imagined. Volunteer borage and a hint of Yvonne's Salvia.
