Hi Everyone! I've been gone for the last week, my husband and I have been in St. Maarten on vacation. It is so beautiful there! They had candlesticks growing everywhere, as well as sea grape, hibiscus, and crotons.

Ardesia - your plants look great. I really like the fireworks croton and your candlesticks. After seeing these on the island I think I might have to add one of these to my yard.

GAGirl - the color on your rose of sharon is awesome! I just purchased on this year and surprisingly it is doing well.

Dyzzy - are those the Princess Di Heliconias? I just planted some heliconia a couple of weeks ago and they are blooming already.
