It has been awhile since I posted any pictures of my yard. I thought I would go ahead and do a post and it may be the last update until spring in Kentucky. I wish I could show you my colocasia's, but we had a very dry and hot September and Ocotber this year. Therefore the colocasia's I assume went dormant from the lack of extra water. They did recieve the sprinkler's twice a week, but that wasn't enough.

Hibiscus cannabinus is still beautiful and still blooming. It started blooming 10/1, so it has bloomed for a month and 15 days.

A Canna that has been blooming constantly since last December.

My Windmill Palm that has just started to thicken up and produce a ton of fronds. I can tell it isn't a fan of Florida.

I think we decided this was Yucca gloriosa... it will hurt to move; getting the Band-Aids ready.

I always thought Sunflower's could be used at Thanksgiving they just can't grow in most places this time of year. Neighbors Thanksgiving Sunflower's.

I appreciate the kind words, I do. It is part of why I landscape, because I want to show it off to people.

Thanks,

Jake

Absolutely impressive garden there. Best of luck moving and at least you are leaving a happy, flowering nana behind!
