The past week we have been experiencing almost daily afternoon showers. I just love the flowers with rain drops on, so fresh and lovely.
Chinese Rain Bell, or Strobilanthes flaccidifolius, really becomes "Rain Bell" after the rain! Did you see the reflection in the rain drops? Oh, that tiny spider also caught in the picture!

This is the first time louisiana iris bloomed in my garden. Meems at Hoe and Shovel was so generous to send me two rhizomes last year. Thank you, Meems!
Rain lily really lives up to its name. I saw there are more flower scapes coming up this afternoon.

I am loving the flowers in the rain! Aren't you?
Your rain-splashed blooms are absolutely gorgeous. Love the Chinese Rain Bell. That's something I've been thinking about getting for a little while now. Your Iris is just beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteI think you will not regret it if you grow Chinese Rain Bell. It is very easy, grows fast, and no pest so far.
DeleteRain always refresh the garden with the earthly scent.
ReplyDeleteI guess the rainbow and the splash of blooms had brighten your day.
Yes, that certainly brightened my day!
DeleteI always enjoy seeing raindrops on blooms. These are wonderful photos.

Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it.
DeleteWell, your garden is doing awesome. Rain every day? I am so jealous. Also a bit envious of your Louisiana iris and rain lily blooms. Mine sit there doing nothing right now. The rain lilies did bloom back in April when we got a couple inches of rain, but I guess we haven't had enough this month.
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is fantastic ~ I've never seen Chinese Rain Bells. Will have to research that one. It's so fun to learn about new plants!
I wonder why this time Central Florida is so different from south florida in terms of rain. This week we are still getting daily rain. Actually I hope it can stop after my work, so I can do some gardening.
DeleteI got that Chinese Rain Bells from my one of my favorite nurseries, and I have not seen it anywhere else.
Beautiful photos of beautiful blooms. Belinda's Dream looks like she is very happy in your garden. I think she has just the perfect rose shape and fragrance.
ReplyDeleteI am glad Belinda's Dream is doing great. The only thing is I am afraid I did not give her enough space. I may have to remove some plants around her to make more room for her :)
DeleteI am happy to hear that you're getting rain. We could sure use some up here. I love looking at raindrops on plants...so peaceful and refreshing. Glad you mentioned the little spider in the pic...how neat!
ReplyDeleteI wish I can send some rain up to your area :) We are still having rain this afternoon, almost overflow the pool. Now I want it to stop for a while, so that I can do some gardening during the evening time :)
DeleteAs stated by Stanford Medical, It is really the SINGLE reason women in this country get to live 10 years more and weigh 42 pounds less than we do.
ReplyDelete(And by the way, it is not about genetics or some secret exercise and EVERYTHING about "HOW" they eat.)
BTW, What I said is "HOW", not "WHAT"...
