Vanda garayi booming today in #MyGarden. This is a small but sturdy and dependable #vanda that makes lots of bloom spikes and lots of keikis every year. I divided this plant last year and I’m glad to see it doing so well. 🌱 #FlowerReport #BloomScrolling #Orchid #Orchids

I’m in awe of both the #Artemis #astronauts and the ground crew during this amazing lunar flyby. This is just a phone screenshot from the livestream-showing the crescent #earth on the right, just about to set behind the #moon. I can’t wait to see the high quality photos. #EarthSet #LunarFlyby

Gorgeous!

This “Yellow Tab” tree in #MyGarden is looking good today but it’s still probably about a week away from being in full bloom. It has been re-named by the taxonomists as Handroanthus chrysanthus but I still think of it as a Tabebuia. 🌱 #Trees #Plants #Flowers #FlowerReport #BloomScrolling #Springtime

This #FloridaNativePlant, swamp milkweed (Asclepius perennis) is doing well in #MyGarden. I partially buried a big watertight glazed clay pot with no drainage hole, and filled it with organic matter and several of these #plants. They love it! 🌱 #Flowers #FlowerReport #BloomScrolling #ButterflyPlants

The speaker at our garden club last night talked about the importance of leaving tree snags in the landscape to provide home for wildlife, especially #birds. Here are three snags in the wonderful stand of #RoyalPalms in #RichardsonPark. Scroll in to see the bird atop the snag on the left. #birding

Hope you’re not in too much pain and can get this cleared up quickly!

Petrea volubilis is the correct scientific name, no thanks to auto-correct and my lack of proofreading.

A true sign of spring. Are they fragrant like Magnolia grandiflora?

I love these orchids! Three years ago I was lucky enough to go on a swamp walk in the Fakahatchee Strand of the Everglades in southwest Florida where we saw these amazing orchids blooming in their native habitat.

The almost-full moon was very bright over the #Atlantic #Ocean last night. This was taken from the pier in #DeerfieldBeach #Florida. #EastCoastKin
