Catching up on all the news and enjoying the lovely pictures everyone has posted. You are all going into your prettiest months of bloom whilst we are going into our "quietest" time for garden color...
These are a few thing I have in bloom in the garden this morning, if I may share...
Brugmansia Creamsickle
Blue Plumbago, this blooms all year for us
Plumeria, not sure which one this is - could it be a Maui Beauty?
Hibiscus, a very common plant for us.
Brugmansia Equador Pink
Another Hibiscus..
Mango's are growing, despite the beating the trees took from the backhoe and being cut off from water for four months.
Brugmansia Gypsy Queen
Water Hyacinth
A pot of Mandevilla on the lanai.
Bauhinia galpinii
Hibiscus
Oleander
Clerodendrum minahasse, under the full bloom...brug
Gosh you guys! too many beautiful pics to comment on each one. Its like visiting a botanical garden! I found these today, Sansevieria flowers!
Hey LApalms, love those pics of California. Keep them coming!
rjudd, your Aussie tree ferns are looking good mate.
Mike
Gorgeous pics! Beautiful plants everyone! Never seen the sanseveria flowers. My croton and my ti's are flowering now, and people keep asking me what that pretty berry is and how did I get it in my croton! Ha Ha! I have two pots of sanseveria...going to go look for flowers! Randy - I have a thunbergia erecta as well, but it doesn't flower much anymore...do you keep yours in sun or shade?
Went around yesterday deadheading and such like, and I really liked this corner...funny - it is the alamanda (amongst other things), whose pot I hide with the portulaca I posted the other day. Here you can see it winding through the fence - and the other plants!
Dale how hardy are your Bauhinia galpinii. Do you think they would survive a winter in zone 8.
Dee
Dee, Plant Piles says no.
Dale, what is that red plant?! I have the dusty miller and it grows all year. It would really pep it up to add that pretty red to it.
