How do plants know January is Spring in Florida? December
wasn’t very cold and we didn’t get our first frost until the first week of
January. So how did the Hyacinth know to stick it’s stalk up through the stones
and blossom.
All the spring flowers are blooming. This Red Azalea was hiding in the woods when
we saw it’s red blossoms and we cleared out the Palmettos to give it some room.
There is a White Azalea blooming in the front yard.
Seeing everything just wants to grow we got to work on an
overgrown block of garden that was loaded with African Iris, a very rugged plant
that just keeps growing and spreading without any help from us.
But we hired this homeless hippie to dig them all up and
spread them out all around the yard. These were the home of the red ants that attacked
Polly and finally made her jump into the pool.
We cleaned up the garden leaving a couple of clumps of the
Irises and supplemented them with a couple of Camellias
And a couple of Gardenias.
We don’t want to rub the sunny weather in too much on our
Northern friends so let us sign off with a nice warm picture.
We burned it every night during our little cold snap a
couple of weeks ago.
