This summer I planted two pots with okra seeds. Only one pot yielded and that too a few. As the summer closes down I was surprised to see the other pot too blooming. For Cee’s FOTD .

Garden Lily
I do not shop at the garden center during fall. I am not confident about planting bulbs for the spring. But I did do some window shopping and found these beautiful lilies. My plant identification app called this Orange Lily and it seems it represents confidence, pride and wealth. For Cee’s Flower of the Day!

We are on a road trip this week and I am currently in Tennesse. I thought the plant outside my hotel to be rose but it looked different as I approached it closer. The leaves look like those of roses. For Cee’s FOTD
Rose of Sharon
Another hibiscus variety from my garden. After two years this plant has grown well and is blooming good. It seems this is a drought resistant plant and needs little water.

Amur Honeysuckle

Jasmine
Excited to share my jasmine buds today morning. With all the hot weather I thought it would have bloomed, but not yet. I have to be patient. This is a tropical plant and had to be brought in for winter. This one survived this winter. For Cee’s FOTD
