The flowers around our pool and screened patio are starting to get established now, offering nice splashes of color …
Flowers in April
January flowers
It might be winter time, but Florida seems to be ignoring it – these pictures are from our garden, or from wild flowers seen on my walks (as always, click any picture for bigger):
Tropicanna Gold
With the replanting after our pool build this year, we had a number of Ginger plants, nice with their variegated leaves. They seem to struggle with the summer sunshine, but we bought a few more anyway – and the new ones seemed to do much better with the heat.
One of the new plants is now flowering quite spectacularly and it’s clearly not a Ginger at all! It seems to be Tropicanna Gold, which would explain why it’s doing so much better than the “other” Ginger plants!
