April 22 - All the tropical plants are out for the season!

 It was a fun Earth Day bringing out all my plants for the season. Such a fun time of the year! My largest Plumeria has 7 flower inflorescences which is the most I ever remember seeing. It's going to be fun year!

As of April 19th ... the tropical plants are outside for 2025!

Plumeria California Sunset has been blooming beautifully in the hosue for a while. Now it's putside.



These palms have been out for a while now along with the citrus!



Musa Sikkimensis is really "cool" weather tolerant. It's already grown nearly an entire leaf and last  saturday nearly snowed & was literally a record cold 42F. 


The poinsettia I got last November is still as red as ever! 
 


Needle palm had spear pull which is ridiculous! But at least it's alive and producing a new spear.


Star Jasmine "Madison" looking nice!



And a few spring blooms! 

Daffodil Replete




Ashton High Rise Camellia

Hyacinth & Tulips



Also inside the house, I have okra! I'm excited. Not sure where to put it in the garden yet though!
 



My Medinilla magnifica is MAGNIFICANT!

 I love this plant, Medinilla magnifica is so easy and the blooms are amazing every spring.
