Saturday morning is prime time to tour my garden and take pictures to share with Jim at GardenRuminations and the rest of the international gardening gang. Follow the link to tour more gardens in the comments.

The White Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia nicolai) is progressing, but not quite open. It surprises me how long the flowers take to get going. I have been watching this for three weeks.

I decided to try some different container plants. Verbena, Callibrachoa and an unknown succulent.

The flower of the unknown succulent. I hope it drops some seed right there!

The Pinot Noir Bromeliad (Aechmea ‘Pinot Noir’) is showing it’s true to its name. This will flower later this summer – I hope.

The miniature pineapples are bearing fruit.

We have been enjoying tomatoes and herbs from the garden.

That is all from South Florida this beautiful spring Saturday. I bought some Cinderella Fairytale Purslane cuttings I must pot up, so it is back outside. Has anyone had these? I bought them for the name as much as anything else. I wanted to try purslane and it supposedly makes it through the summer here.

Happy Gardening!!
