Not a beanstalk, but...

Daniel's giant 8 1/2 foot sunflower.  The flower is just starting to open.  For reference, the human is about 6 ft tall.  The tomatoes in the background have turned light green.

Coming Attractions!

The first Amaryllis are opening
First of many daylilies
Asiatic Lilies budding

Sunflowers (oops pink crocs got in the picture)
Baby tomatoes almost as big as ping pong balls
Lettuce & onions with contrasting shades of green
It's a baby cucumber!
And a baby pepper!

Another gratuitous tomato shot

Annual Alexandria Azalea Explosion!

White is boring, and only one color is for the timid! I planted most of these around 1994.
What happens when an artist who craves color plants shrubbery?  COLOR!
Boris helps, and Oslo rolls in the dirt, as usual.
First hostas, banana tree shoot and very first Louisiana Iris, from a plant that was transplanted last year!
