A super boring plumeria update & hibiscus and oleander blooms!

 Sorry not too many blooms here, but it's so important to document the blooms and the progress to get there, right? So not a very sexy post but I promise there are some blooms and fun surprises! 


I potted up my Variegated Plumeria Maya


It needed a new container


This is Plumeria Crazy!


This is California Sunset. Such a reliable and beautiful bloomer!



Canna Inca Gold from Jungle Jacks in 2017. Leafs out VERY late but is a reliable bloomer


Plumeria Melody is another reliable bloomer


My tallest and oldest plumeria 




A pair of 4 hibiscus from Hicks


African Marigolds from the Farmingdale plant sale


Check out this iconic Dahlia!


Oleander putting on its annual show











Canna closeups

 A new dwarf canna for me this year


Canna Bengal Tiger


Canna Cleopatra


Canna Musifolia is getting HUGE and is blooming now 






Canna Ermine White is a fun new canna for me with white blooms







Howards Dream Orchid

This is a new orchid for me from the annual Orchid Festival in Oyster Bay the last week of May. It's called Aliceara Marfitch 'Howard's Dream', formerly Beallara. Marfitch is in bloom and the flowers are so pretty!
