This is really a fun one. A dwarf promagranate tree. This one is but 4.5" tall and it's fruiting. Credit goes to whoever hybridized them. I just bought it from a local nursery.
Autumn Containers Garden
Call me strange, but I don't find it satisfying if I don't put in the work. Sometimes it really hurts afterwards, but it's the work of your hands. I truly understand why people have everything installed - I just can't do it. I have been teased on various occasions for "caressing every leaf" but I love getting involved with my plants. When I grow it, install it, and find out what it REALLY wants, I get great satisfaction. Of course, I'm also the person peoples' cats fall in love with me because I drop whatever I'm doing to get down on my knees to give them rubs.
I've just come to accept that when it comes to my garden, I'm anal.
I can appreciate your view, but I'm at a phase, I'd rather sit back and supervise. lol.
Another view of the pink brug 'Amy' with the weather cooling down somewhat, and having kept this plant in dappled shade. The flowers lasted nearly a week at a time. Another fringe benefit to grow brugs. in containers. You can move them around to keep the blooms last longer for our enjoyment.
Oh, I don't know... I think there is a lot of leaf caressing going on there.
'Charles Gimaldi' brugmansia. On the other hand, brugs that planted in the ground. For instance, this type of brug. can yield multiple flowers in mass planting.
Pardon. The above is another yellow blooming brug. But it wasn't 'Charles'.
These belong to 'Charles'.
'Amy' & 'Charles' are seen here together. Amy on the foreground, Charles further on the background.
A mixture of white brugs and pink in the mix.
Fragrant hydechium;
'Dwarf Pink Singapore' plumeria. One'd love this particular one for its ease to be moved around. I brought this one inside last winter for the Holidays, so will I this year.

'Kona Hybrid #26' final blooms for the season. That's all for now, 'til we meet again. Happy gardening everyone.
Well folks, a killing frost is expected day after tomorrow. Most of my tropical containers are safely tucked indoor. Once last time before these are taking out of their temporary container homes, and plant into the ground before 'Ole Man winter arrival.
A close up. Hope you've enjoyed the thread.
Well Lily your dock still looks great even with all the brugs put away for the season. I had some catching up to do on the photos...so pretty...all of them. Stay warm...and don't send that frost down here....lol.
Thanks sunkissed, chances are there will be continuous blooms in the makeshift greenhouse over the winter. And, I'll try my best to stay warm and hope that frost won't visit us as often as it did last year. lol
Last year we got our first freeze on Dec. first...really stunk...usually it is not until the end of Dec. closer to Christmas, or January. It is 46° this morning, that is plenty cold enough, much more of this and my peppers will stop blooming. But rest of week should be back to normal.
Love the white Brug. I just have to get some of those in my garden.
Oh Lily, it's gorgeous in every season!
Hi all, life has kept me on my toes these past weeks. I just now get a breather. Whews! Glad to return with some plumerias that were brought indoor; DPS.
