Mid-July Blooms….

This morning was cool,as July Florida mornings go.

It motivated me to get to work on getting the gardens back into shape(after the contractors made a mess).

It’s been awhile since I took an early morning stroll,camera in hand,through the garden.

Orchids in bloom…

What’s blooming in your mid-July garden?

Orchids A’Bloom,and New Editions…

The orchids have decided they like their new home.

Yessirree,Bob!

And are a bloomin’ away…

One of my Dad’s orchids.

And we have buds…

This is an orange ground orchid.

And just because I wanted it,

I bought a Cyclamen…

Why,I have no idea…

…it’s not gonna last too long…

But it is pretty looking.

And I wanted it!

So,I bought it.

So there!

at The GreatWall…

I love this shrub.I really,really do.A Florida Native,and it can take anything!And smells good,in bloom,to boot!

Time to start thinking about sod,I guess….
