Today I celebrated Labor Day by spending the day working in
the garden. After two months away, is
going to take some time to bring everything under control. Today I filled out three garbage containers of
cuttings and weeds. (I have a couple of more
days to go)
I relocated my St. Francis statue to the back of the garden
and I was rewarded with all these rain lilies. (Someone up there liked the
move)
Firebush (Hamelia Patens) this plant is not the best looking
plant in my garden and the flowers are nothing to talk about, but if you want to
attract butterflies and bees this is the one.
Firebush is native plant to South Florida and is popular
with landscapers, the plant is aggressive and needs trimming a couple of times
a year, but it blooms most of the year.

wow, those rain lilies are amazing! It is wonderful to see them blooming in mass.
I love rain lilies ~ and yours around the statue are just beautiful! And I agree with you about the firebush - great for attracting bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Here in central Florida we will usually get one or two good frosts that requires them to be cut back "hard" each spring so I don't have to worry about trimming them through-out the year.
Hmmmmm., nice thing about rail lilies,,,,,,,,,,,,
