I KNOW IS KINDA LATE FOR IMPATIENS, BUT I JUST HAD TO.

We've had an unusually long cool winter so I thought I try more impatiens. It's late in the season for them but, lets see how they do. I'll keep you posted.






ORCHIDS, ORCHIDS,ORCHIDS.

Spend some time this weekend in the Redlands. I love that part of South Florida, it's like you're not even in the city. This is one of my fav. Orchid nursery and every time he has lectures I'm there.

My humble little house in the spring time.

I've been neglecting my front yard for a while, so now that it looks nice I want to show it to you. This is my little house yes, is there some where behind all the foliage. So far I still have it under control. I'm not really planting anything new in the front yard. I really have no room, I think.




These coconut trees are kinda new, a few years. I had to replace the other ones died, just got sick all of a sudden.


Yes, my front is there some where.


This path we put in about 8 years ago and I want to do something different, but what??? These ferns need a little help.


This is my favorite feature of the front yard. This fountain we put about six years ago. It was really hard to find a cute small fountain, they are all huge and I wanted it to be proportional to the house. I faux painted with a glazed and then sealed the color in with a good paint sealer. It's going on six years and it looks great. I have a bird feeder near it and is such a treat see all the beautiful birds come for a nibble and a drink. Actually my neighbor Ron's cat is always napping under the fountain, smart kitty.





I wish I could keep the inpatients all year long.




This little mulched path leads to the side gate.
