Showy cacti

I can't remember where I got these cacti from but they sure have multiplied with showy display every year. All they need is some water with plenty of sunshine and stand back and watch them do what they do best; showing off.

Avon Rose

The Avon Rose growing in my front yard is a hybrid tea rose with good fragrance and long stem blooms. The dark red flowers hold their colour well even in hot weather thus making it one of the better cut flowers.

Lili Marlene Rose

While we're talking about floribunda roses, another favourite is Lili Marlene. Surprisingly they look very much like Icebergs roses but red. They do attract powdery mildew quite easily unlike the Icebergs.

La Minuette Rose

La Minuette Rose is a nice little floribunda rose which will do well in a decent size pot. White with hot pick edge blooms are great for bouquets.
