Warm, partly cloudy and increased humidity today with a 30 percent chance of rain tonight. It's a good day to stay home in the AC and post a few pics from the garden. I'll start with a pair of wood storks that dropped by for breakfast this morning.
I'll start with a walk through the rose garden. The second and third photos are of an Albutilon or flowering maple that is planted in the rose grden.
The tabebuia that now towers over the house is in full bloom.
The mango tree is blooming.
And so is the orchid tree.
Nice red iochroma and purple Mexican petunia.
A red blooming dwarf azalea and a hedge of purple blooming regular azaleas:
This is a big agave called a century plant:
My Asiatic lilies are blooming.
This potted bromeliad is sitting on top of one of the Washington palm stumps.
The plumbago has kept blooming right through the winter.
This begonia is about to take over one of my gardens. I'm going to have to get in there and thin it out.
I'm thinking this beats all of the snow pics??
