          These insectivorous plants really didn't like last year or May June this year, the recent wet spell has really caused then to perk up.

                  Datura wrightii, I like watching these open, they only stay open for one night and a day, if cool and cloudy,(should be ok then:biggrin:), quite scented on a warm evening, (not so likely to happen:biggrin:), but here it is.

                  Sweetcorn looks good but the male flowers are way ahead of the female cobs, I hope it works out ok.
