Very beautiful pictures!  Some of the flowers I have around my yard but a lot of them not!  It makes one smile to see such beauty and around here the honey bees are so happy!  Love the veggies too, our garden is on it's way to being done.  Not ready to give up the fresh tomatoes yet!  thanks for taking the time to share those pictures with all of us!

They are beautiful Annie. I remember when I was in Florida visiting, going out at night just to see such a sight! Very cool! Thanks

I can't wait to take some seeds to Bonita Springs this year and plant them around our place.  I KNOW they grow there, have seen just one place with some right in our neighborhood.  It is funny the bees take a little while to find them but now in the late afternoon there are LOTS of bees forcing them open just enough to crawl into the flower!  You can see them inside and hear them buzzing!  Our neighbor has 200 hives so we are happy to have all these wonderful pollinators around us.  They winter them in Texas.  But with the drought there wonder if they will be looking elsewhere this year.  I know the honey is delicious!

Annie, what an amazing flowers!!! I have never heard of them, I will search for some seeds of them.

Thanks for all the respons on my flowers. They didn't gave a good idea from my garden at the moment, because it's a real mess. Luckily I could find a few flowers in bloom.
I'm thinking about next year and collecting lots of seeds.
greetings Aafke

[annieinelkhart]

OH Aafke I hope you CAN find some seeds because they smell heavenly. They only come out each evening and then done by mid morning.  If you don't remove each bloom they will form a spiney seed ball and there are THOUSANDS in there to sprout!!  They are perennial and we love them.  Good luck!

Hi Annie,

I love the pictures of your moonflowers.
It looks to me as the datura innoxia .I saw them in spain a couple of years ago and I took a seedball.I have tried to grow them.But I'm not patient enough and it didn't work.I have also ordered them by marktplaats/market place , where people try to sell all kind of things.But no luck.Datura/Brugmansia is one of my favorits.

I had not been familiar with the Datura Innoxia, but a friend who has extensive gardens gave me a little piece of one, and it has become a rather large bush :-)  Many flowers every night, and now those spiny balls :-)
I have also grown Brugmansias, but they are really not happy being brought inside for the winter.  And having to keep them isolated from the cats is no fun either.

I'm not a very good gardener but I love what little I have. These are my roses, first year they bloomed so big! I don't even feed them. Bad me.

My sister in Rochester counts her moon flowers too, Annie. I get an almost-daily report when they are in bloom.
