It reminds me of the sun. And I'm with you on planting plants that are low maintenace. Although for some reason my plants seem to grow BIGGER than they should. Other people have neat and trimmed yards, while mine is overgrown and somewhat wild looking.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106128705768954876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-68797844981670383952007-08-11T18:15:00.000-04:002007-08-11T18:15:00.000-04:00sg: i concede on all points. there are times when ...sg: i concede on all points. there are times when only yellow works.<BR/><BR/>only my preference is white for the bright color in my garden. white picks up the light of the sun and the moon.

Nothing is cheerier than a sunflower, or more mellow than yellow roses, or brighter in a garden spot than yellow allamanda! It is like a ray of sunshine poking through the clouds on a dreary day, just brightens up your outlook!

I didn't realize that mandevillas attract bugs. Probably coz we have so many out here in the woods anyhow, I wouldn't notice the difference. My mandevillas never make it through the N FL winters, so I haven't had any for a few years.<BR/><BR/>Your allamandas are beautiful! It's been many, many years since I had those.SophieMaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396958301555933308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-1952656733671335932007-08-09T13:35:00.000-04:002007-08-09T13:35:00.000-04:00YAY!

Ooh-la-la!<BR/><BR/>Feel free to change your preferences often, as females this is part of our genetic code. Just limit your swapping to plant and flower varieties and not husbands and such. :o)MLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466105409508105428noreply@blogger.com
