Latest Props Collection

 















Look ma, no roots. This African Violet's performance has been lacking, so 

severing it from it's depleated potted root ball is severe and yet has proven

successful in the past seems appropriate.

I know, I know..keep looking and you shall find.

What is Waveybasket Grass You Ask?

 Panicum undulatifolium Ard one of several botanical names for this ...should I

say it? Weed. Perhaps to some and a summer ground cover to others.

An Asian origins plant, non-native and in some parts, considered invasive. 

 

This ground cover is doing what it does naturally in the midst of our rainy season

here in central Florida.

A New Season of Scenes From The Garden

 Scenes from my garden, well, my whole yard is a garden. What else would you expect

from a constant gardener.


This sunlit Elderberry that got hijacked from my neighbor's yard started this parade.

We got wavy grass in it's prime, mid rainy season.



And more wavy grass among some tall Liriope ornamental grass.

 

One of two Crape Myrtle nurseries.



 

Speaking of nurseries, this Resurrection fern is off to a great start, with a foot hold onto

this Florida rock.



 

A serene morning calm of green.

 

My main Crape Myrtle housing my orchid collection.






 

A new edition to the yard, seen at the left is a Jackfruit tree from seed and soon

to be a year old this December, one of two.




We finish with this season's main feature main,Wavy Grass.

Meanwhile...

 my backyard walk way realignment is done. With the added side slabs to jazz up the

right justified first slab at the carport gives it some flair. *pats self on the back*

 

My favorite saying, Change your outer landscape, Changes you mind-scape. 

 

In these times, we need a new normal. What better way to mark this philosophy by

a modified landscape.



Where did I get the energy to finish this project? 


Still zooming from my early morning sighting of bright green meteorite on my morning

bike ride around the lake. This sighting lasted a relatively long three seconds, which

competed with a nearly full moon, to boot. Obviously, I would not have a picture, but

I did a respectable illustration, which I present to my garden/astronomical enthusiasts.

 


Looking East at 5am, the southern end of the lake and the moon would be out of the illustration
and to the left, as well as the planet Venus would off to the left at just slightly higher elevation.
The meteor was green as a green lime and must be from it's high iron content, is my understanding.
 
Enjoy!
