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):
January flowers
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!
Tree Frog?
The Silk Floss Tree is hardly a tree yet, still only about 4ft high – but this Frog seems to like it!
