More blooms, etc.

While most of your gardens are being put to sleep, ours are just waking up from a long summer nap. This is when our gardens do their best, from now til the start of next summer. We'll see what kind of winter we have this coming year, as last year we had many 'cold' days, and lots of gardeners, myself included lost some of our plants.

I am trying to go with the flow with what will do well down here. One group of flowers that does well are the periwinkles. They are so easy, self-seeding and drought tolerant.
















Cassia is a fall bloomer that the Sulphur Butterflies love.







Caught this critter yesterday, we don't see as many as we used to since we lost a lot of our pine trees due to hurricanes and a beetle that killed many around the state.







This is a ground cover, which grows like crazy.




Dwarf White Orchid tree grown from seed, sweetly scented flowers.




The morning sun hitting this wall made me grab the camera.





Here is a closer view of this painting.
