Blooms inside our haven this morning :-)

Good afternoon Friends ~ The road work seems to be done for the day,
it is much quieter now. What a relief!
Here are pictures taken before all the hulabaloo started later.

This is a little sculpture we found probably at the flea market or a yard sale many, many years ago. Looking at it from this side, you see God's hand holding a lump of clay, and a leg and foot to the left.



This is looking from the other side, Adam and Eve created,
and still in God's hand.



This is St. Francis with Louis Philippe,
the Florida cracker rose.



Spicy Jatropha



Scarlet sage ~ coccina salvia


Four stages of Prosperity rose.

More Plum Cottage Blooms

Good morning Folks ~ I hope you all are able to get out and play in your gardens today. It is perfectly gorgeous this morning, yet I won't be playing in gardens as I'll be at work again today. I did take some pictures this morning and yesterday.

Here is Vanda.

This is what I saw last evening as I was sitting here at my computer.



Prosperity next two photos.






Popcorn Cassia ~ the foliage smells like freshly popped pop corn.


Next three photos are of the man garden.









This is Love.



Basket flowers and Chrysler Imperial rose.

Enjoy your weekend.

Growing from Seeds

These pictures below are nothing to write home about.
Growing from seeds though is exciting,
even though we may have to wait awhile to see actual blooms.
Patience is needed, if we don't have it naturally, we learn it.

I was given these seeds by generous Florida gardeners.
I am thankful to them for sharing from their gardens with me.

Several of these are supposed to have lovely scents and I am looking forward to that.

I will post pictures when these bloom, hopefully sooner than later.
Click on the links to see pictures of flowers and read info on each plant.

Desert Cassia is the plant in the left side of the pot with little leaves on each stem.

For a picture of it in bloom and much larger than my baby

This next seedling is white powder puff tree.

For more information, visit RareFlora

This next one is Vitex. Info can be found here

This is Lance Pod tree. See here Rare Flora

Popcorn Cassia another yellow flower shrub.

Foliage smells like buttered popcorn.

This next one is Jerusalem Thorn.

I'm not crazy about thorns but the flowers were neat.

Last but not least, dwarf white orchid tree.
