Garden Update this week from Staten Island, NY

 Here's what's happening this week! 

Deciduous azalea - Garden Rainbow. This year it only made one head of blooms, it might be time to plant this in the ground

The Palms are back in place my Adonidia palm is taller but the Bottle palm is SO much heavier

Hello from my new Queen Palm

Variegated Lantana is returning underneath the Cabbage Tree (Cussonia). The salvia and geranium all survived too in the garage, but the pansies are new. No doubt the new Verbana will survive also! 

Hedychium making a nice comeback after a winter in the garage. Ixora and European Fan Palm there too

Thanks for looking! (Mountain Bluet (Centaurea montana))
