Garden this evening
« on: April 18, 2008, 06:40:32 PM »
Opuntia Cactus
passion vine from Teresa.  Nice flowers, but not visible.
Mikey's "Root Beer" plant. The leaves smell like root beer!
Bottom and Arrraaagghhh  it did it again. The photo is upright, honest
This is the famed "Most beautiful tree in the world". The Royal poinciana! Grown from seed from Sean.
I had one pretty big, but the light frost did it in. Perhaps in the container i can take it in this winter?

I think I saw Mickey Mouse hiding in your cactus patch....

I'm amazed the rootbeer plant survives in what appears to be full sun....

Cool pix! I love Passionflowers!  o(:-)
My blue one comes back every year with a vengeance.  :o
It is horribly invasive but I let it do its thing around the banana and sub-tropical.
When we move, it's staying here.  :D
I'll probably dig up something near it with a stray Passion Flower runner in it.... ::)

 
Peace to all  ... Joyce

Love the cactus!  After seeing your Passion flower vine I'm going to have find some place to put mine into the ground. 
So if I squeeze the leaves of the root beer plant all I'll need is ice cream to make a float.  ;D

Mike, I did have a shade canopy, very mickey Mouse construction, over the Root beer plant.  It blew down!  I have not been up to making a more sturdy one.  Soon though.
