Tropical Garden # 49

They are suppose to die over the winter, but they don't. They remain fairly demure most of the time, and then in August they just pop up into a giant shrub seemingly overnight.

Jerii11, I do not know the name of your plumeria. I do know that it is very pretty with lovely colors.

RachelLF, that is a very nice color on your hibiscus standard.

Rj, I cannot believe that I got the name wrong. I want one like yours, it is a cool looking Palm tree. DH found that one in Rockport.
I wish I could help you with your trimming and clipping. I would probably bring all the clippings home with me.

guavas

Tropicbreeze, thanks for the proper name for the Palm. I will be happy if it lives long enough to make seeds.

phughes, thanks, that hibiscus name is a easy one for me to remember. Sorry that you are not getting to enjoy your new Hibiscus blooms. I hope each will give you a bloom this weekend.
Maybe you could start a take your Hibiscus to work day. LOL

vossner, thank you.

ardesia, did you bring a Paw Paw fruit home with you?

Time to start a new thread # 50, anyone !!

blackpepper vine

It's still a cool looking tree!
Save me a guava....I want to have a guava tree..mmmm..yum yum.. Now if I can grow some Butter Pears, I'll be happy....(avacados) - The type we had in africa were about a foot long and 10 inches round..they looked like mini water melons..

R.J. Your jungle is paradise in my eye's! Enjoyed each and everyone of your picture's you applied here. Dont' do to much sheering/clipping over your two day's off this weekend;-)

Will catch up on the new thread.

Rachel

I like the flowers of the tamarind.

RJ, I LOVE your jungle.. here is mine LOL , well this is actually taken from under the umbrella in the tomatoe patch.. nice tomatoes, huh?

this WAS the bean patch and tomatoe garden.. did I say WAS? I went to see Tropicman and Patty, and his place is a jungle heaven like yours.. my DH would divorce me if I turned anymore of his precious grass into garden area..

If I squint when I walk around, it seems like a tropical paradise

DH has me keep most everything along the fences, tho.. and since I kinda like him, I let him have his grass.. and I try to be gone when he mows, so I don't have to help..

I do get to see alot of nice tropical looking things here, thanks to people here on DG.. these pictures were taken yesterdy afternoon..when I went to Tropicmans, I felt like an old farm gal.. ya'alls stuff is so purty, mine seems so plain

I didn't have any of these things growing before in my back yard....

I have always have things like these, tho..

I can't beleive I am living my dream by having these things bloom in my own yard..

The camera flash ruins the glow that the twighlight sun setting has on these flowers together..

nothing tropical about this, but I am posting it anyway, all my morning glory blooms are on the mg forum, setosa is blooming away, as is Messina Creeper and lavender moon vine.. thanks for letting me see all of your wonderful tropicals, someday I too will be able to show some..

aah..at last... a bloom on the Cubanola domingensis!

double rangoon...Even though it's hot in Texas, it seems like we get two Spring times! Houston area anyway.

The chocolate plants are beautiful this year.
