How Does the Garden Grow?! Part 2

Hopefully tonight the pictures will load faster!


These bromeliads are growing at the base of a palm,


Here are the same plants, crawling up the palm trunk! If you look closely in the middle top of the picture you can see the leaves of the dancing lady orchid where it is tied to the palm!

 
The blue plumbago is so pretty

 
Another pot of dancing lady orchids in the corner of the garden, blooming away happily!
 
 
Such a beautiful pink coloured flower on the succulent!


 
In the middle of this photo, you can see a mauvey - pinkish flower down near the ground.  It is the "Siam Queen"  Ginger, the flowers are striking!
 

 
Thre coleus leaves are colouring up well now that I have moved it into some shade.

More on the Garden

I thought it might be nice to show you all what is left of the garden flowers after all the shocking winds we have had over the past few weeks- all of the orchids have been blown away  till next year!!
 

 
The plain red lilies are still flowering - the red and white striped ones have gone

 
The large succulent has just begun to open it's flowers - it is covered in big buds

 
Jasmine and bougainvillea intertwined over the fence - the smell of the Jasmine is gorgeous!

 
This poor little red riding hood is still going - I have no idea how it keeps this up!
 
 
Blue Plumbago beside the draceana
 
 
The fish are very happy - they have been chasing one another all around the tank - well it is Spring here, lets see if we get any babies this year!
The weeds all over the garden are extremely happy, time for the weed killer!
