SUNFLOWERS for 2010 - whose here?
Things are quiet out by the pool. It's pretty much in between growing seasons right now. Most stuff has been planted and its about 6 weeks before I can start growing things from seed for winter flowers. Just keep a few things out by the pool right now. Late August/early September is when I'm most busy during the year. I've always considered it to be the beginning of the gardening season.
Here's a couple of pics from out by the pool this afternoon. This is Exacum "Navy Star" & white Canterbury Bells.
A "Cantor" Calla Lily plant,
A bloom on the red Desert Rose & Hibiscus "Neon Nova" blooming today. It's getting dark and the thunder and lightning is beginning to make some noise. Typical summer afternoon in South Florida.
And here's the Vinca "Pacifica Really Red" seedlings blooming and spreading, out front under a palm tree. During the winter it was all pansies under the palm tree.
Beautiful Jon. I especially love the Calla. I have one calla and its not yet to bloom stage but is so far looking pretty good.
I love the blue. Canterbury bells have been a difficulty here.
Love that palm too.
I was just out mowing and that figures.. it started to rain. My butt hits the desk and the sun is back out. The weather is taunting me and I have a lot of mowing to do.
This is the first year I've had some calla lilies blooming since their initial blooming year. The second year I just got foliage. This year finally seeing some blooms again. This area behind the pool I pulled out the hibiscus to give me some empty space to work with. Taking my sweet time filling it in with things. Here's some different colors/varieties of Echinacea there this afternoon.
And a Dahlia named "Winsome" that I added. Planted the tuber in April....I think.
And a wimpy thunderstorm rolling in from The Everglades this afternoon. If this was gonna be a strong one the sky would be black.
Well, it rained just enough to get everything damp and not mowable. Just a tease.
I need to get back outdoors though, the animals are hollering feed me. Rain or shine some critter around here is hungry.
I think I will check my glads to see if anymore popped open.
