I love coloured foliage plants, beautiful all year round  It's all looking good after the rain.
Our crepe myrtle used to flower really well during the drought... it was covered in them, but the last two years since we have had rain it has only had a few flowers.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

Guess I am tired today I pressed the wrong button.
Yes the pink white and darker colours go well together Karingal
Ours die off too and I have to put a marker in so I know where not to water in the Winter when its dry.
Glad you like them Jacqueline I love your little Stella Bella Daylily I had to take that pic very late in the afternoon. Usually the Caladium had a more prominent dark green vein maybe the next lots of leaves.. Thank you for the lovely complements..

Great Pics MA, and boy lots of bright yummy colors as well 
Pitta if you wait until mid year 2009, I divide all my cannas every year and could sent up some for you (tubers)
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.
