Your birds are in your Florida Garden, right? Lovely garden, pretty birdies and kitty. I'm glad to see someone has more pots than I do . . Had a pair of black-hooded parakeets visit my back yard a week or so ago. Hope they don't find their way back, I have my hands full protecting my mangoes from the squirrels.

Hetty, you can show us as many plumerias as you want. I'm shopping for one with more fragrance - the one I have is ok, but the scent is very faint and more like almond than frangipani. I forgot, I do have a variegated one with yellow flowers but it is a real wimp, struggling to survive, and has not bloomed since I got it.

Little dwarf Canna, only gets about 2ft. tall. Bigger blazing red, quiet white one. They look good in this dry weather, but I hide the pots away when it gets rainy and the flowers go to mush.

Another ginger with cool 'corduroy' leaves. Don't know its name as I got it on a trade, and haven't seen it bloom yet. More jazzy leaves on Begonia 'Looking Glass'. It looks sort of gray and dull until you see the leaves catch the light, and they are metallic sparkly silver!
