Wonderful color, Janice, and there are those great hostas that I can't grow.

Isn't spring great? Wonderful show, Janice. Your garden looks beautiful.

Carol, tell me more about the coral epi. It is a new plant for me.

A few more things are blooming for me:

This is the Dwarf poinciana. It only stands about five feet tall which is good because I have to protect it from frost.

Thumb of 2011-04-25/hawkarica/e53b1b
Thumb of 2011-04-25/hawkarica/e108f9

Then there is the jacaranda tree. At forty feet or so, it is big enough to take care of itself. In full bloom, it is a traffic stopper.

Thumb of 2011-04-25/hawkarica/f7c9b0

I'm not very artsy but this is nice photo of the Canary Island date palm from under the jacaranda tree.

Thumb of 2011-04-25/hawkarica/eac0c3

Finally, it is gardenia season and here are the pair that flank the front entry. What a wonderful fragrance when coming or going.

Great shots Jim!! I can smell the gardenia from here! (my fav scent) The jacaranda is exquisite and the dwarf poinciana reminds of the papillio orchid.

Beautiful Jim! Wish I had room for a Poinciana. Our Jacarandas are not blooming yet.
What do you need to know about the Epiphyllum? That one is in a 24' basket and has flowers about 8" across. The flowers only last 2 or 3 days, but are well worth the wait. They play well with orchids! Here is a link for more culture info http://www.epies.net/

Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki', a favorite. Hard to capture the shades of pink on this amazing plant. It just glows. Hesperis with Hakuro.
