Hibiscus: FOTD, June 1, 2020
This is one of the oldest hibiscus bushes in my garden–probably about 18 or 19 years old. I don’t think it’s ever been without 3 or 4 blooms in that entire time. Thanks for your daily gift, old friend!

Hibiscus Twins: FOTD May 30, 2020
One of my new hibiscus plants seems to like its new location. Although the plant is small and only a week old, it has already produce four blooms. These twins popped out the day before yesterday and look at all the buds that are getting ready to produce more blooms! They are the size of my hand with the fingers completely spread out.

Hibiscus: FOTD May 24, 2020
This is the new dinner-plate sized hibiscus I just bought two days ago. Click on photos to enlarge:
I actually think it looks a bit like a hollyhock! It has bloomed twice in the past three days and as you can see, there are more buds set to bloom. Pasiano planted this one so it is directly in front of the hammock, facing directly towards it.

This bougainvillea just seems to stand out in front of the crowd in this shot. Click to enlarge and see her backup colors.
Duranta Erecta (Verbena): FOTD May 21, 2020
I had never learned the name of this flowering tree that I planted 18 years ago, and I thank Grace at broadwaymatron.com for telling me its name. I don’t know why it photographs as blue as it is actually a dark purple. Perhaps too much sun. I like this blue color even more than its actual color, so I’ll support the illusion. Although the description calls it a bush, it says it can grow to 20 feet high. I think mine is about ten feet high–maybe higher.
