Rainy days in FL

After a break from Tropical Storm Debby...

I headed outside to see what was

going on in the garden.

 Eveything has been growing like crazy..

including the weeds!



This is one of my favorite crinium lilies...

after two days it finally opened up...

it smells divine!!!

The Zebra butterflies are also

enjoying this non rainy afternoon...

My Yucca is standing proud and blooming...

Pink Princess Philodendron is

happy and finally climbing up

that rusty trellis.

Rusty trellises in the yard...

 Love the color combination of this dracena.



The ginger is blooming...

A pretty mushroom in the front lawn...

Mandevilla  vine is also enjoying

the rains from the last couple

of days....

So much is happening in the garden,

lots of weeding and trimming to be done.

And the mosquitos are BAD...

I had one fly up and and say...

"hey little girl you look mighty tasty!

lol...

Have a great summer...

I kept oooing and ahhhing

the beautiful plants all around me...

So we decided to check out

the plant nurseries....

This beauty is

Mandevilla Sun Parasol Stars and Stripes...

Mandevilla Sun parasol full of blooms...

Another mouth watering plant was the dark

red plumeria growing as big as trees in people's

yards!!!

Had to get one...

This tropical beauty is a

Brunfelsia...Lady of the Night...

very fragrant and will reside

in a pot in the porch.
