Canna 'Stuttgart'

These plants has spread quite a bit since last year. They grow up to 9 feet and humming birds love them. I managed to capture a humming bird's visit. I would love to have another variety which has white patterns in the leaves.

Harvest Monday - July 25

First an update on tomato plants, they are growing tall and spreading out too. I can see lots of fruits in each plant.














1st harvest of the season:



2nd harvest: tomatoes and peppers

Cosmos

I sowed the seeds in a pot in April and they started coming up in a few days. I transplanted them later and they grew so tall. These plants require full sun and they are a great addition to a garden with a splash of bright colors. So far in my cosmos bed, I see only purple and white flowers. I read that comos flowers attracts butterflies but so far none to be seen :)

Gladiolus

The Gladiolus plants are putting up a nice show. I planted the corms in intervals and because of that there is a continuous bloom. These plants are so easy to grow and they make lovely cut flowers. Here are some pictures.
