A little birdie told me that I should participate in "Bloomin Tuesday" hosted by Ms Green Thumb Jean. Well, my poor Gerber Daisy, Kalanchoe and Hibiscus have been eaten alive by these huge black and yellow grasshoppers that took over my lawn! So off to HD we went to get something to rid ourselves of these little suckers.
The guy swore up and down that the Seven Dust Concentrate, the one you hook up to the water hose, "will kill every living thing in your yard." Well, HE WAS WRONG!! It got rid of most of the little boogers, but not before they ate up everything in the ground! There are still a few lurking around, and they multiply like rabbits; so I am going to have to treat my yard AGAIN this weekend.Therefore I can only show you what's blooming on my porch!
I bought two new Hibiscus at HD last weekend too. The tag just said multi colored, so I was really surprised when this one bloomed in light pink
and this one is a reddish orange. This was the color of my other two before honey killed one and the grasshoppers ate the other.
Lastly, this geranium was an Easter present from my mother in law. She has really rubbed off on me, I am starting to inherit her green thumb!

Sorry about your purdy flowers! You need to import some of Mr. and Mrs. Crane's relatives. They seem to LOVE grasshoppers joining them for dinner! :).
