Friday’s Blooms

The South Florida Fall season is here, is difficult to tell by looking at the thermostat. The mornings are a little cooler but by midday the temperatures are in the high eighties. A sure sign that fall is here, is no more rainy days. It has been more than a week since the last time it rained.
There are certain plants that thrive during our dry season; the bougainvilleas are a perfect example.

I have a love hate relationship with bougainvilleas, love the flowers hate the maintenance, my solution “containers”

Also thriving in the dry season is the Mexican flame vine.

This is a transition time for some plants, it’s the beginning of the blooming season for some, and others are done for the year.

My wild orchids don’t like the cooler mornings so these flowers should be the last for this year.

The plumeria is another hot weather plant that is usually done by this time.

That’s it for this week, I am not working in the garden this weekend, it’s my wife’s birthday on Saturday and she expects my undivided attention the entire weekend, which will include some dining out, some entertainment and gifts.

I hope you all have a FUN and SAFE Halloween.
