Medinilla magnifica is in bloom!

Such a reliable and lovely plant! I've had it for 4 years now

 

Mid April in My Garden

 The Pond is cleaned up for spring and the spring bulbs are popping up too! I have lots of violet on the lawn, hyacinth (they finished up last week when we hit the 90s) and tulips (just hitting their stride now!)

Hawaii Plant Haul

 I came back from an incredible trip to Hawaii & here's the plants I brought back! 

Jim Little Plumeria: Metallica, Juicy Juice, and Hawaiian Rose 

A few seeds I got from the mail! Hibiscus arnottianus, Hibiscus waimeae, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, and Milo Thespesia populnea

I also brought back a Kahili Ginger Hedychium gardnerianum, Pink ginger Alpinia purpurata, Hawaii Tuberose Polianthes tuberosa, and a Purakenikeni flower Fagraea berteroana
