First time blooming bromiliad.


First inflo from plumeria, Lei Rainbow


First time 3 plumeria Aztec Gold trees with inflo at the same time.



First time I'll have 6 or more alstromeria stems with inflo for cutting. This is my very favorite cut flower.


First White Giant Bird of Paradise flower.


First bloom plumeria California Sunset. This is DDs tree. I bought it for her while visiting Jungle Jack's.

Utterly gorgeous flowers! I can't grow those here. But there is a lot to be said for good old marigolds, salvias, and zinnias.

I'm going to try salvia for the first time. My "first" African Marigold are doing just okay. I guess I expected more from them?.
