BTW, while up in Williamstown, Mass for an aunt's 90th BD party this past weekend, I accidentally dunked my digital camera in a hot tub as I maneuvered to help Mom out (I wasn't in the tub). I had my camera, my cell, and my wallet in my cargo shorts. Thanks to Verizon and LG the cell is fine after I wiped it off and dried it in the sun. The Sony camera, however, has moisture inside and won't turn on or off. I will try to recover what was on my card, but I think I only had 1 pic. In any case, this is a long-winded way of saying there won't be any more pic updates for a while. The budget doesn't allow for another camera, so I'll use my phone and it's crappy quality.

OK, I lied.:ha: This is blooming now but I had taken the pic last week.

I don't know the name of your flower, but it's pretty, Saltydad. Great job!

Sorry to hear about your sony digital camera. Hope you get a replacement digital camera soon. But it's amazing that your cell phone still function. Ours didn't work after it fell into the water, and most others don't, either, is what I have heard so far.

Happy growing!

Hi Rae- It's a Bromeliad, a Vriesea hybrid. They're related to pineapples. After they bloom, they die, but a new pup takes over, just like our Musa!

Plumeria pudica in the ground and thriving! First bloom of the year. Its going to be dug up and potted in the fall. Also heres a pic of my plumeria divine which has been blooming all summer long!



Thanks for looking!!!!!!

Alex your Plumeria pudica is great. Here in Coral Gables half of the Plumeria are pudica. That happened in 15 years.

The yellow lotus (Nelumbo lutea) has blue green leaves that are as pretty as the flower. Today we are looking at our yellow lotus flower.

Thanks!! I know pudica is definitely becoming very common in Florida now probably because they are such nice evergreen shrubs that stay in bloom almost all year! Wish they could stay outside all year long here, but Im very happy I could see the spectacular blooms!!!

Greg- Indeed you have a bloom developing. Has it opened yet? Post a shot or two when it does. I wish we could also smell the delightful fragrance. My 'old' plummie is just now developing it's first blooms of the season. Last year it didn't bloom at all, so I'm relieved. I wish some of my cuttings would bloom so I could finally see the blooms!
Vickie- Can't wait to see the blooms!
Sherry- For some reason I've never really appreciated marigolds except as veggie garden fillers to keep away the bugs. But you have some of the prettiest. Keep 'em coming.

I'm quite bummed out that my Empress lotus did not bloom this year. I think it's because I left it in shallow water all winter inside of dropping it in the deep as I usually do. Last year was the first year it bloomed, and only one, but it was beautiful, as are those above. I fed it every month, but bupkis except for great leaves. Oh well, there's always next year.
