midsummer birthday plants

for my birthday this year, my mother-in-law gave me this amazing yellow hibiscus. It's so unusual, I love it. Merci, Montserrat!

Wood sorrel (Oxalis acetosella) - this is an invasive WEED!!! I let it flower as long as I could, but I had to pull it out because it was drinking so much water!!!

but...they're so pretty...

Portulacas - a great low maintenance summer plant

great for hanging basket

I made this big pot of mixed plants for Tia Coloma's 90th birthday party
