My rain lilies are blooming! We are just entering the rainy season and they got enough rain to decide to blossom. They will not do it for city water or anything else. So delicate and charming! A bright spot in a gloomy world!

This was a pot of purple dahlias. Now I’m battling iguanas with a spray of garlic and cayenne pepper run through the blender and then sieved. Of course it poured with rain the day after I sprayed but I’ll keep at it. They eat all my flowers and poop everywhere @gardennicola.bsky.social

After hurricane Milton: The beauty in these storms has to catch you unawares.
This is “Petals on wet wet, black bough” homage to Ezra Pound, a hard poet to dismiss. Anyway, it’s tiny leaves on a wet black trash can. Not the same but also gone by tomorrow. It would make great wallpaper.

October 1 and my bromeliad is in bloom. Note the purple tips. Gorgeous! We are so lucky here that H. Helene passed us.

My decorative pineapple! I didn’t even know we had one in our garden. I love bromeliads so I must have planted it without realizing its potential! We have some little one that look more like red thistles but this is about 5inches tall on its stem!

Avoiding the political prognosticators this morning by having my coffee outside and using the Cornell Labs bird ID. A northern mockingbird is sharing time with me.

I found this seed pod in a sculpture garden in West Palm, Florida. It has dried out since I found it. It was more like a smallish yellow Brazil nut but now it’s popped open. I’m going to plant the seeds. Anyone know what I’ll be growing?

The festive Christmas peacock we all know and love? Or a Buddhist symbol making the “Happy Holidays“ multicultural? Hard to say. Looks great anyway!
