The Brunfelsia, also known as the Yesterday, Today and
Tomorrow tree, is my favorite winter flowering shrub. This time of year, these plants are full with
three colors of flowers, they are not native of South Florida, but they do well
in our climate. A few years ago these
plants were rare in local gardens, but now they are everywhere. They look like lighted Christmas trees, this
year my tree is full of flowers once again and I have a great view from my
patio. The flowers have three different shades of purple;
they bloom with a deep purple color and three days later drop from the tree almost
white.
It looks like we are going to have a great mango season this
year. One of my mango trees already has
fruits and this week it bloomed for a second time this season.
Pictures from the garden this morning
I rescued this bromeliad from a garbage dumpster last year,
and look at her now.

Your garden is always a pleasure to visit. I can't believe how big your YTT plant is. They don't get that big up my way. It's a beauty! That bromeliad you rescued is a real keeper.
Dragon’s blood is a red, wine colored sap from the jungle tree Croton lechleri, with a long history of indigenous use in the Amazon region.
