It seems as though the garden celebrates its survival through the summer in September. I know if I can just keep plants alive until now that they will experience a second wind. My new Oxblood Lily has shown up to celebrate fall.

I am glad that I am home to enjoy this last little splurge of garden flowers.

The blue ginger has finally settled in after years of struggle. It bloomed last year but is much healthier now.

The Life Saver plant, Huernia zebrina, is putting out many blooms and buds.

Even the Night Blooming Cereus is budding one last time.

The dahlias are blooming as well. I am glad they survived another summer of neglect.

I guess all living things breathe a sigh of relief as cooler and wetter weather moves in. I am glad to be home for a bit.
FLOW in fall

You have two plants blooming that are difficult for me, the Life Saver and Night Blooming Cereus.

Life Saver needs partial sun and to be ignored. It rots if I water it.
Night Blooming Cereus likes more sun. I spray the whole plant when I water. My full sun plant has bloomed 3 times this year but looks unhealthy. The plant in more shade has grown more and is very green, but no blooms. ??? I have several of each plant so I can experiment.
