    Took this a minute ago of our confederate rose bush, blooming.

    Tonight they will turn dark pink almost red as they close. :)

    Not sure what these are, but they smell great to me.

    Probably, Shirley, I will have to research them to see, if no one knows what they are, I guess. I always love smelling honeysuckles, thanks for posting them.:)

    Look how much these confederate roses changed in less than five hours.

    We had poke salat growing near the hen pen. It was enough to mess with. IOW,it wasn't a mess of poke salet.:p. We always cook it then pour off the water then cook it again so it doesn't make us sick.

    These silkweed plants spread all around the property and the butterflies love them.
