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!

Father's Day Blooms at my parent's house on Staten Island

Southern magnolia is blooming beautifully! 

So is the yucca filamentosa!

My Plumeria Crazy from Jungle Jacks has a really nice inflorescence 

These fancy geraniums are happy

Dahlia and hedychium. Unfortunately one of the ti plants I put on the edges of the couch broke off so I had to improvise. I think it looks nice though!

Love the way this simple yellow hibiscus blooms. SO vigorous!

Star jasmine but variegated!

Adonidia palm, bottle palm, and black night cordyline! 

Verbena and petunia

and a glorious mandevilla!

Hi windmill palms
