Leaf walk with Doozey!

Can I go for a leaf walk, Momma??? Please?

Right around the corner, we saw this lovely croton!

Ooooh, this is fun...what will we find next Mom?????

Another Croton!!! Look at the colors in this one? My Mom, Julie, is crazy over this one!

Yikes...this scary guy made us jump...the shadows from his leaves made a haunted appearance and he seemed to come out of the dark suddenly!

Pretty little ficus leaves.

Some elephant ears?????

Could this be a Palmetto???

Giant Sea Grape leaves. Look at the size compared to my Mom's hand. She really likes these, except they are very messy and blow all around constantly from the neighbors yard. Year-round too. Unendingly. She still likes the neighbor though!

Who could resist the shiny new little leaves on the Sea Grape??? Sweet!

Look what is nestled here amongst the Lantana leaves! A bloom in the dark.

A "Mexican Sunflower" leaf.

That was fun Mom...now I can sleep in peace!

Maybe this is one of those "duh" questions, but are there an inordinate number of succulents down your way, or do you just notice them all? I don't think we have all that many up here. jan

Doozey is such a cutie with her daisy halter on. The leaves are all very pretty. It is such a green time of year. That tree is spooky.

Your pup is so cute and it looks like you had a great walk. Some great looking plants. I love lantana. Question: How do you get more people to follow your blog?
