Beauty from an overgrown subtropical cottage garden

Greetings from Plum Cottage,

Well, the problem with uploading photos to Blogger was fixed by switching to a different browser. It is so nice to have that issue taken care of.

Down here in s.e. FL, I have been getting hints of fall coming. My dear husband used to laugh when in August I would get these hints and say to him "Fall is coming." We still had the hot and steamy weather of September to get through, and sometimes into October.

I have lots of blooms to share and hope you enjoy the 'eye candy'. I am surprised sometimes when walking around my overgrown/weedy garden spaces and come upon a recently opened flower. Always a delight. We need to look up, down and all around, taking in the sights, scents and sounds. 

White scented Bauhinia ~ white orchid tree 
with what I think is a 'skipper' butterfly




Below is a sweetly scented rose 'Angel Face'.



PInk Monandra Bauhinia



Not sure which red rose this is, possibly 'Oklahoma'.


Red Salvia - spreads easily by seeds


'Spicy Jatropha' zebra longwings love this.


Hibiscus schizopetalus ~ skeleton or fringed hibiscus


Another unknown rose. Names fade away on tags. This might be 'Double Delight'.


Hibiscus 'Diva'


'Incense' passion flower



'Tiger Eye' flowering maple Abutilon

God saw all that he had made, 
and it was very good.
(Genesis 1:31)

Do not be anxious.

Consider the lilies of the field, 
how they grow: 
they neither toil nor spin; 
and yet 
I say to you
that even Solomon
in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.

~~~~~~

Cast all your anxiety on Jesus 
because He cares for you.
(1 Peter 5:7)

Do not worry about tomorrow, 
for tomorrow will worry about its own things. 
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
(Matthew 6)

Thanks for visiting. 
Count your blessings and be thankful.

Kindness matters
so
Be kind.

Love & prayers,
