Not many zinnias this year. This little fellow was a volunteer, peeping out from underneath the stone at the base of a palm tree.

Is this the largest stalk of asparagus in the world? Click on first photo to enlarge all.
Nah, it’s the great granddaughter of the first century plant I planted here 16 years ago. After it blooms (this is its blooming stalk) it dies and a new one grows up in its place. Sources say it takes 10 to 20 years for it to bloom but I remember at least three blooms since I’ve been here, the last one much more recent than 10 years.

Just found this new bloom hiding out in the lower garden. Thanks, Cee, for driving me out in search of a flower for the day!

Budding hibiscus. This small bud will turn into a huge orange bloom like the one I showed a few days ago.
