Temps are on the rise near the end of dry season in Cape Coral. I have a container garden of desert roses now coming out of winter dormancy and producing a bounty of beautiful flowers. I took the following photos of some of them. A few are named and the others are unknown. Happy spring!

    Wow, nice!!!:wub:

    Beautiful selection! Some of them almost look like rhododendron flowers. :D

    Woooaaaawwwwww

    Lovely Meg! I have just a few and they seem healthy, but rarely bloom. Perhaps because our dry winter is neither very dry nor very cool?

    At any rate you are doing everything right and have a stunning collection!

    Awesome! I have one in a pot I keep at work. I hope to get it to bloom this year. 

    Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.

    I'll share some also. Love em. They do better in the ground here.
