what used to be the majority is now the minority. This native green anole makes it's
presence known among the green. As if I can't spot you a mile away with your florescence.
With a head so tiny there is little concern of blood rushing to it's head.
This concludes this year's Florida Spring in late Winter parade.
What if this year will be the year that this flowering tree makes it's
.....do I dare say, flowering debut.
This wouldn't be the first time that I may be fooled again in thinking and hoping that that
golden ball of life will sprout into what it's life force was made to do and that is flower.
This little wonder is the results from starting a from seed. There is no guarantee that it
will bloom true and certainly not grow to scale as the original. This may look like a
seedling and yet is nearly going on ten years. This was repotted two years ago and
even then the smaller pot was not filled with roots. As not to shock it went conservative
and had this pot that was about an inch or two larger than it's predecessor.
Once again, time will tell and what if this isn't the year that it makes it's debut.
plant community but just a couple of lounge a bouts that have their own tales to tell or not.
The black and white one can't keep quiet, it's very vocal and always telling it's tales.

one next door to me but, hey no one said that all things in gardening were predictable.
can still be amazed.
This season's surprise is this Pine Needle Tillandsia making a show of what it has to bring
to the table.
And you thought Dandelions are the only one's that can do this trick.
that Florida has released it's Spring on to our late Winter season.
Some flowering in mass while other's do it with less fanfair.
Don't let this tiny flower with a big fragrance fool you. You may go through out the
garden and never see this, but I guarantee that you will be captured by it's distinct perfume and
if your persistent you will behold this little treasure of the season.
Be amazed!
my tinny Tomato patch
Meet the patch.
Not that one, that is a mere spec of a patch. Yee ole Everglade tomato, the tomato
that keeps giving and giving, if you know what I mean. This volunteer may still
have a future after all, as long as I move it to a more suitable location.
Here are literally our fruits of our labor, second batch this season, four in total.
Hmmm....where do I begin to describe this dance. Perhaps just as it happened.
There's preparation, a gathering of tools, sometimes not in that order.
I have two dramatically different sized potted specimens. Both could benefit
from each other's pot.
First lets take the White Orchid tree that transferred from that black inverted
pot that it is sitting on and the tan pot is what the Avocado tree was in.
The Orchid Tree got the best of this pot shuffle due to having more room
to grow into. Sometimes a little more thought could have benefited
both pot bound specimens, but hey, they will both be happy with what
I just notice looking at this picture and it looks like this potted Orchid
Tree has a most peculiar black angler shadow from another dimension.
Now this Avocado Tree goes from one stuffed put into another but at least it
has more room at the bottom of it's new old pot that the potted Orchid Tree
was perched on and had grown it's tap root, if it even has one into this
rich soil that laid fallow for little over a year, which will come in handy
to help infill for the Avocado Tree's pot shuffle.
Sorry ole Avo, would have
given you a bit more rooting
room but I will make up for it
with some extra food in the
future, once you get through
the shock and all from being
repotted.
You got this.
ber Shop and they asks for the usual. Barber asks, just to clarify, it's been awhile
since a Tomato plant needed a trim...
Barber knows the protocol when it comes to Tomatoes and rushes to pick up the
clippings knowing that he will be able to start new plants and to not offend his client
that he and his family loves to eat tomatoes.
Barber waves to the Tomato as they exist his shop.
Twice now...I was stopped in my tracks when I first saw these little sprites popping their heads
out into this slow time in my urban garden.
Don't let that three foot trailing arch of tiny orchid blooms fool ya. As delicate it may look
it was taking a beating of wintery bluster and saw no point in hasting it's flower's demise
and brought it in to see how my pampered props live and gives the orchid time to
show them how this orchid lives.
Take notes props.
