December blooms

We are having the strangest weather. Here it is in December and we are still walking around in short sleeve shirts. Some of the plants in my garden have recuperated from the hurricane and are now blooming. My white butterfly ginger......

I forget the name of this one. A hummer favorite though......

This is the first time that this one has bloomed.....

No monarchs around to enjoy this milkweed......

Another hummer favorite.....

mexican heather still blooming....

Mexican flame vine is blooming heavier than it ever has.....

hardy hibiscus

these havent bloomed since early summer now look at em

Even some of my brugs are at it again.

And my justica which I thought was pretty tropical

This plant is grown mostly for its beautiful foliage. The blooms are pretty insignificant.

This pineapple sage is blooming away. Wish I could figurge out where the seeds are.

This cranberry hibiscus is loving the cooler weather.

Even the cassia alata is at it.

And you cant kill off the hibiscus manihot.

The sage took a beating but is trying to come back.

And the gloriosa lily is growing well. This one blooms in late spring or early summer.

Even this tropical hibiscus has blooms

And this one

And passiflora citrina

My blue sky vine continues to crawl up my pindo palm

Beautiful pics!!!!
Love the passiflora citrina, I've been looking for one. My daughter's name is Katrina(with a k.) Anyway, where did you get yours????????

There is a shop near here that specializes in plants which attract butterflies. I love to go there, their prices are very reasonable and they are very knowlegable. I do like this one. It blooms more then any other passiflora I have. Send me an email and I will try and root a cutting for you.

How close are you to Pensacola?????????

About 45 minutes away.

My best friend lives in Gulf Breeze and I got over to see her about once every other month. I thought maybe you were talking about Garden Gate nursery.

Actually, the passiflora citrina came from a nursery in Gulf Breese called the Garden Gate. It is on Highway 98. I think I paid 6 bucks for it.

I thought that is where it possibly came from. I love that little place!! They are so nice, friendly, and helpful there. They have so many unusual plants there. Guess I missed out on the citrina, there, though. My friend lives right around the corner from there.

They are very knowlegable there. However, they were not sure which passiflora it was. Actually there was two varieties that I bought there that were unknown. The citrina was one and I also got fledermouse.

I bought a type of palm there, that looks sorta like a sago, but it's not. She said it was more of a ground cover, and didn't know the exact name of it, either. They do have a lot of unusual plants there and I am sure it is hard to keep track of them.
