I'm a transplant from the Big Apple into Florida's sandy soil. That's me having fun posing with a plastic alligator outside a Florida restaurant. The rainbow photo I took in my backyard; it was the best rainbow I've ever seen. 🦩 🌴 🌷 🌱 🦜
While looking for Petunias in Lowes garden center, I found this beautiful large Poinsettia for $22. I may be rushing the seasons, but it just looks so good in the landscape. #Gardening #Flowers #Florida #Landscape

Mums and Petunias will be growing.
Moonlight will brighten the night sky.
A cool North wind will be blowing.
Just the right conditions for Halloween Spirits to fly.

Cooler dry air is filtering down to Central Florida. It was a decent day to cut the lawn and find my yellow Alamanda looking for a photo op.
PS There is always a sense of accomplishment when one finishes cutting the lawn.

While strolling on the avenue, white pretty flowers make you stop! You look and then take a closer look. Wow! And the leaves and the way they're shaped are really cool.
It's called Plumeria Pudica, the Bridal Bouquet. #Flowers #FlowerReport #Florida #Landscape #Gardening

Taking advantage of a cloudy afternoon, I pulled weeds in the yard to keep abreast of the jungle from taking over. A Hibiscus bloom and a slight breeze kept me company.

The Paurotus Palm is also known as the Everglades Palm. It's so pleasing to the eye in a #landscape, but take care prunning it; its barbs can easily snag your clothing and skin. #Flowers #FlowerReport #Florida #Palms #Gardening

It's a hot summer, and birds like to cool off and have fun.

Don't ask me why I planted a bird of paradise close to my shady Magnolia Tree. Maybe because the tree & plant were small back then. However, the bird still manages to get enough sun, which it loves. The Magnolia I had trimmed along with some palms for this hurricane season. #Trees #Plants #Flowers

My Mandevilla is still surviving in zone 9b. This vine likes the tropical climate zones 10 and above. My plant's blooms are far apart and none in between, but still come back each year and are such an eye pleaser! #Flowers #Florida #Gardening #FlowerReport

In Central Florida, pineapples are easy to grow. At one time, pineapples were comercially grown here. Keep the top of purchased pineapple 🍍. Apply rooting hormone to its bottom. Plant in a sunny spot. Leave the rest to Mother Nature. #Florida #Gardening #Pineapples #Fruit
