Some sort of ivy growing over my fence (and my neighbor's tomato plants):  |

Lazy gardening... or Gardening Without a Yard. My BIL (from Holland) gave me some Dutch bulbs which I had in the fridge all winter and forgot about until cleaning it out, and there, beneath some withered carrots, they were. They were starting to go moldy. I didn't think they'd grow, but I literally threw them into a partially filled bag of potting soil and forgot about them again. Until one day...  |

Sure was, I have several other photos of this at slightly different angles. I was inspired enough by this "method" to also grow tomatoes and runner beans on that deck the same way. I miss that deck. (I miss having a real yard a lot more, but oh well.) Here's another, a top view:  |

Some sort of ivy growing over my fence (and my neighbor's tomato plants): Those look like morning glories to me. I used to have to clean them out of my garden because they would choke off my veggies. The yellow flower that you showed is, I believe, another weed, but I'm not sure of the name. (They are weeds to me because they grow in abundance around here, and are not popular with grain or vegetable farmers.) |

I love it, TM! Now, that's my kind of gardening.

This is cool! (I wouldn't have believed it was real either without that second pic.  ) |

We have morning glories, trumpet vines, grape vines and honeysuckle growing on anything that will allow access to the sun.
Treat most of them as weeds.
Those morning glories have pretty flowers in the am, but they seed and then there are morning glory vines everywhere and it takes a "scorched earth" effort to get rid of them. Pretty flowers and no work to grow, though.

Thanks T.M. Usually I preview before posting, but most not have last night. I've fixed the mistake.

I love orchids, it's nice to see all these different ones. Do you work (or live  ) in a greenhouse? |

These orchids are from the US Botanical Gardens in D.C. from when I was there for a kindle meet-up. Since I'm posting one photo per day, there's a lot to go.... (I take ridiculous amounts of photos). Go back a few pages and you'll see the national tulip gardens. |
