This beautiful miniature yellow orchid thrives among my Plumeria tree and bloomed this week.
The Plumeria tree itself is blooming--a sure sign that spring has arrived in the tropics.
I purchased this vine at BJ’s; unfortunately, it did not have a nametag. If any one recognizes the plant and can provide its name, please let me know. (Gorgeous flower, huh?)
This is my Canna's first flower of the year.
The white Pentas are doing well and like the warmer weather.
Pink Dragon Wing begonia
The Impatiens and Viola are looking a little tired from the early spring heat.
Sorry, I know I am a day early but I will be away this weekend and don’t want to miss my favorite posting of the month.

Gorgeous orchids, and all your flowers do look bright and summery.
I am sorry to hear about your drought and hope that it ends soon so you can give your plants the water they'll need to get through the summer.
Thanks for joining us for bloom day. We can always count on blooms in your south Florida garden!

No need to apologize for posting a day early. Every day is a good day for beautiful flowers!
Thank you for visiting my blog today and for welcoming me to Blotanical!
Rusty, your orchids are exquisite, what a good idea to grow them on the plumeria, a real tropical statement. We love the pentas also, annuals here in TN, they attract so many butterflies and hummingbirds and bloom for such a long period. Thanks for showing us all the great color in your garden

Hi Rusty, Love yor beautiful orchids. and all your flowers are doing well in the drought.
I have just come in from watering my garden, were also in drought and allowed to water twice a week. Tuesday and Saturday between 8pm and 10pm.by hand held hose,were in Autumn still having very high temps 36.37 38c =100f today we had 40=104f tomorrow forcast 41c. its hard keeping the water up to the plants...
WOW! Great blooms. I love that orchid. And the Plumeria. And the unknown vine, and...and...and...They are all beautiful!
What gorgeous blooms! It's hard to imagine that you are heading into the heat of summer and we are still feeling the chill of winter.
Thanks for visiting my blog and the words of encouragement for my first bloom day post.

Tropical flowers are so vibrant and the ones you posted didn't let us down.
That yellow orchid is just exquisite! I also love the plumeria, one of my favorite flowers. And yes, the known bloom is gorgeous, too, I want one! I know the great feeling of when you buy something and it turns out to be such a success.
Rusty- WOW. What a delicious orchid- so bright and summery. Never have been a big fan of cannas except every time I see yours... it makes me reconsider... they are really nice!
Wasn't that cool weather last week perfect? Not much more of it to come sadly. Happy spring!

Wow, you're cannas are already blooming? Amazing. And those first few photos are just stunning. Enjoyed the tour, thanks.
Well R\usty i must say I thought we were ahead of the gardening curve here in the PAcific northwest but i can see at Dragonfly Garden things are a little different. Beautiful plants. Daniel
Hi Rusty, I'm so glad you came by and visited my blog. Your plant choices are ones that I would choose too. They are all so lovely!
Wow, those yellow orchids are wonderful! Must be nice in Florida during the winter. You have some rich and gorgeous color in your spring garden.
Your flowers look great for being in a drought. (Are your biceps getting big from hauling those buckets of shower water out to the garden?) The Begonia is especially beautiful.
Your yellow orchids are so pretty - as is the Plumeria tree. What beautiful blooms!
Your mystery vine looks as if it is in the morning glory family. Those blooms are lovely with the incredible interior markings. I hope your weekend went well!
Great bloom day. Thanks for colorful photos..
Goodluck
Oh Wow, lovely to see so much colour in the garden :-)
It is fantastic to see what is in your Florida garden at the moment as I look out to mine in Scotland with crocus and narcissi in bloom. Love the orchids :-D
Beautiful flowers!! Your mystery vine is gorgeous and reminds me of the morning glory vine family ~
