Another late evening...

This late evening- after dinner- (earlier this week) once again found me in my yard...'Taking Care of Business'... feeding my cats and dogs ...etc...

Took my usual walk around the yard with my camera.

Just a few more shots of my flowers and then I'll give it a rest! I promise! :)

This blue flower is the one whose name escaped me the last time I posted about it! ....Well- it's called 'Plumbago' and is an excellent landscape plant for Florida. It's used a lot in plantings along expressways! It blooms almost year round, so is very desirable.

Charles bought me 5 of these for Mother's Day- and we planted them on the east side of our house. Some roses we had there died from lack of watering! These will do better I'm sure! They are an attractive and very showy plant with their abundant blooms!
I like the way they look against the bricks!

















I once again admired the Mimosa in bloom!

This is one flowering tree I loved when we first started coming to this area way back in the 70s .


This tree didn't grow in Miami, where we lived for so many years!

... It just had great appeal for me right from the start and I still like it as much as ever, after living here 20 years now!

My mom loved it too and I always think of her when I see it in bloom!


(Not that I need much prompting to think of Mom!)


These little flowers she loved a lot too! So do I! They are called '4 o'clock' and only bloom out in late afternoon or on cloudy, overcast days! They are very fragrant and attract humming birds! These plants die back in winter but always come back the next late spring! The flowers are interesting , as they can be mixed colors on the plants; some yellow, some pink! In fact, the individual flowers can have the combined colors!




I also have a very light pink one- but it's growing in another spot and doesn't have the blended colors! I want to keep it pure in it's color, so I'm glad it came up where it did!

I guess these are a wild flower...but I like them a lot! So they are here to stay!

This day I found my 2 cats doing their thing in the yard...keeping watch on the whole place!

'Tiger' had the front yard covered...





















...while 'General' patrolled the fairy/herb garden in back!



















So it goes at Junie's Place! ;)



Love,
