The last few weeks have been busy at the DragonFly garden. I was trying to get all my spring pruning duties in, before the hot summer weather appears and gardening becomes a part
time task only done in the early morning and at dusk. I think this year I went
a little crazy with all the trimming, but some corners of the garden were looking a
little wild. (I have a reputation for been a neat freak)
It all started with the Cassia tree that was knocked down by
the wind a month ago. I also pruned hard the Brunfelsia tree, the
Starburst tree, the Fire Dragon bush, and for the first time the Mexican Flame
vine. The bougainvillea by the front
gate is history, and so is the Aechmea Blanchetiana bromeliad in the front of
the house. (More on some of the new changes in the front garden on my next posts) The garden looks a little bare
and the sunshine is coming through, but this is Florida and it will grow back
in no time at all.

After, I hope it grows back, fingers crossed

This bromeliad in the front of the house, history, more on my next post.
