Nice thread title, David. I walked around with the camera and was surprised at how many blooms I found. I have a few orchids blooming right now, but they will be coming into the house for the next few cold days. Wish I could bring in the tomato and broccoli plants!

Monarchs are hard at work here. Pot with coccoon will be under cover for the cold. Yellow milkweed brings them in.

Brazilian Red Cloak is in bloom year 'round, it seems. Nice red coleus called 'Dipt in Wine' has seeded itself! Purple firespike is in for a shock.

I can't figure out why this Thai caladium is fully leafed out. Think I'll move it to cover! White and coral Barleria go everywhere in the shade.

Begonias and bougainvillea, Shooting Star Clerodendron, I think its days are numbered . . . Sad
