Thanks Shelley & Flowerpower!
The lily only blooms once a year, so I get so excited to see it.
To the right of the Bird of Paradise are 4 juvenile papaya trees. I usually plant in groups of 3 or 4 to have a good chance of having at least 1 hermaphrodite, and that will be the only one I keep as that one will have male+female flowers and be productive; the rest will be chopped down. It takes about a year to flower.
Behind them, are, uh... weeds.

Funny little 4 oclock from seed that my sweet friend in Missouri sent me, but thinks it's still on Central time, since I have to wait till 8 pm to see the bloom:
I like to plant Cosmos among the tomatos (but the dill got in there by accident):
