All my preparations for me absence paid off. Only a few plants died and nothing was eaten. Hooray! I am very pleased to learn I can leave for a week without a disaster.

Most of the calla lilies are up and budding or blooming. I am still waiting for the yellow to show. Hot Chocolate is my most requested calla. It is tall and hardy. I love the clear spots on the leaves.

Another popular calla is Captain Romance. Its buds have an interesting gradation of color that is not as visible in the blooms.

Captain Romance is shorter than Hot Chocolate.

I will also show off the first hibiscus bloom.

This red flower has a beautiful back as well as face.

More blooms to come. I am tired of typing with a bandage in my fingertip.
