A moment of Zen to start your week. The palms 🌴 are blooming and the bees 🐝 are very excited.😊 Have a lovely day gardeners. #gardening #gardeningfeed #bloomscrolling #nature #flowerscrolling @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social

Tropical hibiscus 🌺 grow very well in Southwest Florida outdoors. Need very tropical climate and can die even in central & north FL zones 9b. But they are SO gorgeous. Happy Sunday gardeners! #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social 🌱 #gardeningfeed

Rudbeckia & Buddleia blooming here now in SW Florida provide migrating butterflies 🦋 with needed food sources. Happy Saturday! #gardening #gardeningfeed #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling 🌱

Plumeria, or Frangipani, are beginning to bloom now. Again they have gorgeous flowers with lovely fragrance. SO easy to propagate. Take a branch cutting & just stick it into a pot. #gardening #gardeningfeed #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social

Star Jasmine hedge row near me. During evening the fragrance is lovely! Wish I had a way to post the scent. 😉. Happy Tuesday! #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social 🌱

I cannot believe I still have Amaryllis blooming here in SW Florida in mid April. These are all planted outdoors in a raised window box bed. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #gardeningfeed @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social 🌱

Told myself I was ONLY buying Sunflower & Zinnia seeds at garden center. Came out with 10 Impatiens and 3 Hibiscus plants. Oh, and the seeds. I am a menace in the garden center. 🙂 #gardening #gardeningfeed #garden @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social 🌱

April Amaryllis in bloom! Happy Friday fellow gardners. #gardeningfeed #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #gardening @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social

FINALLY! After coddling & begging for 2 years this Cattelya orchid bloomed. It is very well worth the effort. Happy Thursday morning! #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #gardeningfeed 🌱 @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social

First day lilly of the year, Amaryllis still blooming and roses coming on now in Southwest FL. Have a lovely Wednesday morning 🌄! #gardening #flowerscrolling #bloomscrolling #gatdeningfeed @gardenersworldmag.bsky.social 🌱

The Bougainvillea are in full bloom here in SW Florida. This one is in my garden,but they come in an array of other stunning colors! Purple, mauve, red as well as this fuscia. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #gardeningfeed 🌱

Those are Hibiscus 🌺 blooms obviously. Argh....bloody autocorrect ! 😡

While some have Easter tulips & lillies in SW Florida we have hyacinths, Crinum lilly & gardenia blooms. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #gardeningfeed 🌱

Oops..."ann8"...was supposed to be the word "annual". 😁

Purslane, in other plant zones is an ann8. Here in SW Florida we can grow them outdoors as a perennial, as long as they are in very hot , dry spots. Hope you have some lovely Easter flowers in your gardens. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #gardeningfeed 🌱

Valencia Pride mangoes beginning to develop on my tree in Southwest FL

Some roses from my garden for your Sunday. I wish you a lovely day in your garden. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #flowers #gardeningfeed 🌱

Happy Spring 🌼🌱 equinox! Hope you have a lovely Friday. Here is what's blooming in my garden today. #gardening #gardeningfeed #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling 🌱

On Saturday March 28th I will be participating in my 1st No King's protest. I am deciding which T-shirt to wear. As a retired Computer Scientist I am APPALLED & outraged over the MAHA dogma. It is time for MATA! Make America THINK Again. Which T should I wear? 🧪🔬💉💻
1 for blue, 2 for black

As we move to hotter weather in SW Florida, here is Abie the Labbie's favorite sport. 😉. #dog #dogs #labradors
(Is there anything that makes you smile faster than a labraduck?) Have a lovely Sunday morning 🌄

My Valencia Pride mango 🥭 tree in full bloom. I am SO excited and hopeful to have my first true full fruit harvest this year. Last year was the first time it fruited but that 1st year you take all the young fruit off to let the tree develop better. #gardening #gardeningfeed #gardenersworldmag 🌱

Today was National Plant a Flower day! Here is what I planted today? #gardening #gardeningfeed #flowerscrolling #flower

I still have Amaryllis blooming and my experiment to grow a Nicotiana (tobacco) plant has done very well. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #gardeningfeed 🌱

We had a solid rain in SW Florida last week which prompted the blooming of some bromeliads & tropicals. Like the Ti plant, variegated red pineapple and Crinum lilly. Have a lovely Monday morning. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flowerscrolling #flower #gardeningfeed 🌱

This is a bromeliad I dug up from a neighbor who did not want it. I replanted last year in my Agave/succulent garden in SW Florida and it is now blooming. What a gorgeous bloom! #gardening #bloomscrolling #flower #flowerscrolling #gardeningfeed 🌱

I planted out these geraniums and Antirrhinums back in October. I left them out & they survived and are blooming again in March here in SW Florida. #gardening #bloomscrolling #flower #flowerscrolling #gardeningfeed 🌱
