My Trip to Washington DC

Just got back from a long US trip. I was surprised to find ornamental sweet potato vines all over DC. They grow beautifully and no signs of those black ants that I hate.

Here's a non-tropical hibiscus that looks very similar to our tropical varieties. The leaves were the only give-away.

I'm so jealous. Here are neglected blackberries growing along side the road.
