I recognize the jasmine in the first picture. The yellow flower in the third to the last photo is one I'm growing too, but not half so well. We call it Yellow Bird of Paradise bush, something like Caesalpinea poinciana.
Yeah, you've been bit alright. My policy toward work in the garden is pretty important to me. It isn't allowed to become one more to-do list. Of course prior to having guests over I'll get busy and sweep paths and weed a little. Other than that I make chores flow from hanging out in the garden. I go out there to read, nap or play with the dogs but when I start looking around I get inspired to do projects. What if I pruned that branch, moved that plant .. whatever.
