    Thanks for the lovely display of flowers and plants. Your rain lily has a slightly different shape and colour tone than ours........

    Isn't it amazing how lovely everything looks after a rain? However, I would imagine your garden looks lovely no matter what. I love all your flowers and the little garden knick-knacks. Welcome to Blotanical!

    Very lovely gardens:) I have a TerraCotta man, too! We affectionately call him Mr. PotMan:D (Not very creative, I know, but still amusing.) Happy to be following you, keep up the great photos!

    Your lovely blooms seem to be saying, "thank you, thank you" for the rain. Doesn't everything look beautiful after it rains?
