I enjoyed every picture, Ursula. Thanks for posting and letting us Floridians see the colors!

All that is new here is the golden rain tree which is coming into bloom.

Jim

Oh thanks so much, Jim!

I tried to do a Pond panorama with 6 verticals, I think next time I use a stand and shift the view. Photoshop had no problem stitching the panels nicely and then got kinda stuck trying to fill in some upper and lower edges. Had to force/quit to get out of it.

Your Golden Tree is a beauty!

I miss the NE Fall colors but not the "weather" that comes with them. And it always seems, just when the leaves are BEAUTIFUL, we would get a bad rain storm and they would all end up on the ground.

Noticed yesterday the yellow leaves on the Crepe Myrtles.

So far so good around here, as we have a stretch of gorgeous weather. I love it!

Thought I'd share the little symphony from my garden, Musical Notes plant on its 4th round of bloom.

I love that one, Elaine! Pretty!

That musical notes plant is cool, Elaine.

On a sad note, I had my cocktail citrus tree cut down and hauled away today. This citrus greening disease is terrible.

The golden raintree is in seed pod form now. Note the bougainvillea and Mexican petunia under it.


This year's banana crop.


Jim

Looks great!
Gotta love those wonderful Bananas!

New to my garden today, from the Selby Gardens member's plant sale. One of them is even a plant I've been looking for!!

Hibiscus schizopetalus - Fringed hibiscus was only $8 and I've been looking at small starts of this online for $20. I love a bargain!!


The other treasure is called Clown Fig - a variegated ficus with very small, velvety fruits that turn yellow, orange and red, c/w stripes sometimes. Right now the fruit is green, but the foliage sure is pretty.

Elaine, you will really enjoy that Japanese Lantern hibiscus. Here is a pic of mine.

Jim

Yes, I always like to see that one in your garden!

My winter blooming cassia is in full bloom. What a show!

Jim

A yellow explosion!

I love your Cassia bushes, Jim. Someday but don't know where to put one. I have too many trees and not enough room

They do take a lot of room, Mindy, and they are fast growers.

Jim

I was telling a friend that I NEEDED a Cassia. I planted seeds & 6 mo later, they are still 2" tall. She found them at HD for under $4/pot. I will head to HD tomorrow. Have a couple large spots where they would be very happy.

Schlumbergera 'Caribbean Dancer' Blooming just in time for Thanksgiving

NOID cactus that was actually a stow away on another plant I bought some time back. It was a single ball about 1/4" diameter. Now I think it has a bloom

Very pretty! I could really get into Schlumbergeras, such gorgeous blooms.
Lovely spine pattern on your Cactus!

I like that cactus for a holiday greeting. So pretty!

Here's my big begonia 'Looking Glass' which has silver and dark green leaves with red reverse. The sun was shining through the leaves here. The red Firespikes are blooming again. A friend calles this plant 'hummingbird heroin' but I haven't seen any hummers on it lately. Possibly they're down in the Keys by now . . or I'm not getting up early enough.

Pretty!
