Moon Lillies and Rose of Sharons

 The above picture is of my moon lilies. I had planted them there last year but they didn't do much. We didn't have much of a winter so they came back up this spring. They were huge and beautiful. They had about 13 in bloom one night.
 WalMart had some plants on clearance sale. They had little hanging pots of the plant pictured above for $1.00. I bought three of them, babied them for a bit and then replanted them in a large pot. They turned oput beautiful, don't you think??
 I decided to buy these little succulents at WalMart. They were single purchases. I also bought the pot and potted them all together.
 The picture above and below are my hummingbird vines.The hummingbirds love them. They are slow to come up in the spring. A lot of years it's Memorial Day weekend before I see any coming up, but by the 4th of July they are covering everything.

 The picture above and the two below are of one of my Rose of Sharon tree/bush. It had gotten to where it wasn't looking good so I gut it back to within a foot of the ground a year or so ago. This year it was the prettiest it has ever bee. I cut them back from time to time and it really helps them.

Today when I went home for lunch, I noticed that the frost had got my morning glories on the front fence. I always hate to see everything die.

I live in Western KY which is Zone 6. I am an avid gardener. I do this in my spare time as I am a wife, mother, grandmother to 4 and work full time outside the home.
