More flowers!

Paul's Texas Star has been blooming all week.  This is the one that is supposed to be a mix of the red and white flowers.  So far it has had only red flowers.  Next spring, we will plant more of the mixed seeds.




So enjoy the purple flowers out the kitchen window.  I think they are called "Yesterday,today,and tomorrow", but I am not sure.

Closeup they resemble petunias.

A second Pot of them sits  by the carport.

Monday I rode my bike (trike) about 3 miles.  Due to rain, heat, and painful knees I haven't ridden it in a long while.  I think I was out of shape.
I think long term the bike riding is good for the joints but short term it  was  painful   afterwards.
