July Update from my parents backyard on Staten Island New York

A new canna! 

My Aloe bloomed twice this year! I got blooms inside the house in January!

My favorite fig tree ALREADY has fruit

 The first fig of the season & it's only early July! Biago's Blush always produces a breba crop, which is the fruit that overwintered on last year's branches.

Hardy Gardenia

This is the best the gardenia have ever looked. I have Summer Snow & Crown Jewel in the ground. In a container I have frostproof which overwinteres in the garage. 

No blooms on Crown Jewel, I think the summer snow gardenia is starting to overtake it! 

The windmill palms are looking nice this week too!

My Tallest Plumeria

My largest plumeria is blooming better than ever! It's in a tiny container but has plenty of flower power. This year i have 5 inflorescences. The only problem is it's too high up to smell them! But that's what ladders are for haha.
