Worry is like a rocking chair, it's gives you something to do but gets you nowhere!

Fertilizer Friday

Not fertilizing and not flaunting, just sharing what's still happening in my North Florida gardens.

Spider Lilies or Hurricane Lilies
This is the Dahlia bud from the last post open. The fall flowers seem to be a little darker in color than the late spring early summer ones were.
Painted Lady Hibiscus in a container. I lost the one I had last year due to the ab-normal cold temps we had. Maybe bringing this one in for the winter will save it.
I pulled up or cut down all of the yellow and orange Cosmos that bloomed this summer. Not before it went to seed though. That is one thing I love about a longer growing season. You can see more Celosia still popping up too.
I may actually like this bright Amaranthus in front of the Mexican Bush Sage after all.
Butterfly Ginger--my first year with this, thanks Ms. Doris. We have had an abundance of yellow jackets this year. Not a favorite of ours by any means.
BES Vine is doing great in both locations I have let it grow. It must prefer cooler temperatures as it is slowly starting to bloom. In our zone it has an aggressive nature.
This is a lighter shade of pink Celosia...Millions time millions of seed...any takers?

Somehow our Grapefruit Tree made it through the artic blast of 2009..not quite as many fruit, but enough.

Today I am Thankful for the change of seasons.
