This is Alan the Greyhound, my constant garden companion, and a champion hole digger.
Flowers on a White Geiger (Cordia boissieri). This tree flowers frequently, more in cooler weather.
‘Miss Alice’Bougainvillea finally making her presence known. A nearly (Nearly?!) thornless Bougainvillea, this means the thorns are shorter and more limber but can still stab you. I have been training Miss Alice into a pillar for a couple of years.
Florida Avocados from a neighbors tree. I just asked my husband what he wanted with Guacamole? We’ve decided on Mojo Chicken Nachos for dinner. In summer friends give us Mangoes, fall and winter Avocados and Papayas.
A new addition to my butterfly friends, a Giant Swallowtail. Easily the biggest butterfly I have ever seen, I thought it was a bird.
The Desert Roses are flowering a bit. This is a popular type of Aeonium in South Florida, native to sub-Saharan Africa and a rare plant that will survive the summer here in full sun and a container.
Happy Saturday!

The Shrub Queen 
I want a neighbour who grows Mangoes but can I keep the climate in my own garden the same as it is now please. We were in Australia in Mango season two years ago and I couldn’t get enough of them.

It’s a chilly evening here in the UK and I’m envious of the range of plants you can grow there. The desert rose is a beauty.

But does Alan dig holes where you want holes? That would be an excellent pet.

Alan is such an excellent hole digger he has a fenced area to dig in – away from the garden.

Aeonium?! ‘Desert Rose’ is a cultivar of Aeonium, but that flower in the picture is a real desert rose (which is not really a rose of course).
