Bogainvillea will continue blooming unless we get a freeze.

My Ribbon palm (Livistona decipiens) is looking lovely in the sun.


The Tibouchina is not up to its usuall standards but I do have a few blooms.

Then there is some not so good news. Florida is fighting an invasive snail that is cleaning all vegetation out of some of our lakes. I found this on the shore yesterday so I know they are here. I hope they don't have to kill all of the fish to get them.
