I am joining SOS this week with my latest crop of unusual. Even in South Florida, April showers bring May flowers. Generally, they are not the same flowers everyone else grows, but I am happy. My cutting flowers are not quite ready for viewing, but their friends are. Visit our host, Jim at GardenRuminations to see more May happiness.

I do love these miniature pineapples. I have a few around the garden. The fruits are reportedly good for juicing. However, I cannot resist cutting them for flower arrangements or drying them for the holidays. And painting them gold!

Intense rain showers inspired the Rain Lilies!

Flaming Torch Bromeliads (Bilbergia pyramidalis) are appearing early this year.

The Purple Heliotrope is still hanging in there with the chartreuse Golden Dewdrop (Duranta erecta)

Mystic Blue Salvia is shining.

Turkeytangle Frogfruit (Phyla nodiflora) “lawn” is flourishing and providing food for butterflies. Note holes in leaves. Happy caterpillars.

That is my six for this Saturday. Happy Gardening!!
