A mix of bromeliads, succulents and annual plants is what my
street garden is made of. Today I finished
making some changes to the front and preparing the garden for our annual Easter
bash.
A can of yellow pain will do for now, originally I wanted to
replace the wood fence with a metal gate and fence but it’s not in the budget
this year. As you can see, I took out
the big bougainvillea and planted two new bougainvilleas in the
containers by the gate.
The large bromeliad by the driveway is no more. I replaced it with the old water fountain planted
with succulents that was in another corner of the garden. Originally I wanted to pull out most of the
grass in this part of the garden and plant more succulents, but gardening time
is limited for me at this time. (Retirement is around the corner, there will be
plenty of time then)
I kept some of the pops from the bromeliad in the front and planted them in a container. The areca palm that was here is now in my back garden.
Other changes, these bromeliads are going to grow nicely
in the trunk of this date palm
This week in the
garden, the fragrant lady of the night (Brunfelsia gigantean) is in
bloom and the garden at night is a delight.
Look who was walking in my fence early this morning. This opossum was carrying her baby to a new hiding place; I guess she forgot the time and was surprised by daylight
HAPPY EASTER
