Red Again

My hibiscus are in their full glory right now, I have this red on which short bush. I also have pretty pinks one, they are much taller.

Annual Salvia

Don't ya just love this red?

More of the Big Bee

I am sharing a couple more pictures of the large bee that was in my garden this weekend, you can see it next to a normal size bee, I have never seen one this large, so am not sure what exactly it is.

Camera Critter Saturday Three

This was the biggest bee I have ever seen! I took this picture in my backyard this afternoon.

Gaillardia

This is a new Gaillardia that purchased and planted this year. I like it but it does not seem to stand up well, it ends up bending way over, of course we have had lots and lots of rain this year so the ground is really wet. I ordered it from Bluestone Perennials, I can't remember the name (as usual).

Double Delight

This is my Double Delight hybrid tea rose. It is my favorite, the blooms last quite some time and the fragrance is pure heaven.

Pepper ID?

This spring my husband bought and planted what were labeled as cayenne pepper plants. We plant them every year, the kind that get dozens and dozens of 2 to 4 inch hot peppers, in the fall we pull the whole plant up and hang it upside down in the garage, they dry by them self and we pull them off the plant all winter long to crush on pizza etc.

This plant looks like a banana pepper only they do not turn yellow, they go from green to red and are about 10 inches long with thick skin like a sweet pepper but they are not sweet, they are HOT. Anyone have any ideas what kind of pepper this is?
