Another Sighting...

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?

 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. 


Pink & White and White & Pink and

 well you know, you get the idea what today's theme is.






Not Members Of The

 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.



A New Volunteer

 makes it's debut.

Introducing the Milkweed. 



 To be honest I was thinking it was another plant altogether, knowing that there was

one next door to me but, hey no one said that all things in gardening were predictable.

This Constant Gardener

 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.

It's No Secret...

 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!
