          I've seen those opuntias in the sandy soils of East Hampton, New York, by the beach. Flowering too. What an unexpected treat!

            I think nopales are the "leaves" (maybe they are called "pads") rather than a fruit.

                You can eat both the pads and the fruit…if you get fruit. I think the fruits may be pretty small in these eastern species.

                    My Wisteria is blossoming. I planted a twig of a plant about 4 years ago. It's reached the top of the gazebo and I've got blossoms.

                      How about no bloom scrolling?

                      Deer at all of the flowers and buds off of my daylilies. They even ate the ones I brought home in my suitcase after I visited Lilylady. The fancy double yellow ones.

                        @Steve-Miller Oh, no! How disappointing. I know the feeling... I've had orchids put out buds only to find they'd been eaten by mice!

                          Despite the set back over the winter, the roses are blossoming. In fact, they've made a pretty good come back. The one that lost it's long canes is growing new ones at a great pace. The one that was all gone except for one stem that I subsequently, accidently strimmed off has put up a new shoot! So I it looks like I get a second (at this point it's more like 10th!) attempt to protect them next winter.

                          The bush that was taken for a goner:
                          722.JPG

                          A flower and bud on the one that lost it's tall canes:
                          723.JPG

                          New canes growing:
                          724.JPG

                          The trusty yellows and red/magenta ones:
                          725.JPG

                          This one hasn't blossomed in years. It was in an area that got invaded with Bishop's Weed:

                            Other blossoms at the minute:

                            I bought this Sedum for the color of it's blooms. A bit of salvia on the right.
                            721.JPG

                            If anyone can identify this pink and white flowering plant, I'd love to know what it is:
                            727.JPG
                            Close up:
                            734.JPG

                            Clematis:
                            729.JPG

                            I transplanted this Geranium while it was in bud from an area infested with Bishop's Weed. It looked pretty sorry for a few days but it's perked up nicely. It's my favorite one for the color:
                            733.JPG

                            Another Geranium that had got lost in the weeds:

                              An overview of the front garden. I'm going for a cottage garden feel, may eventually introduce a picket fence.

                                  @Bernard I used an online plant identification tool to see if we can figure out what that flower is; it's quite lovely.

                                  Actually, I tried two. The first one identified your mystery plant as a phalaenopsis orchid. Um, I don't think so.

                                  Tried a second site and it came up with Lindheimer's beeblossom.

                                  https://www.picturethisai.com/wiki/Oenothera_lindheimeri.html

                                  Here's another site with more pictures, including of the foliage.

                                  https://luirig.altervista.org/pics/index5.php?recn=137997&page=1

                                  Looks like a possibility to me. What do you think?
