South Florida skies!!

This pic taken in front of my house last night looking west as sun setting!

This one taken my DIL tonight! WOWZERS!!!!!  The skies are prettier in person too, if you can imagine

My new solar color changing butterfly!

Around 11 bucks at K-Mart.  Such fun!!!!!

Saturday garden shots!

Good sunshine Saturday to you all!!!  Here is the only sunshine at the moment around these parts!!!  My little front porch!  Look at how yellow some of the leaves got on the pothos.  It was situated farther back in more shade prior to yesterday.  All plants got taken out for some nice juicy rain water last two days and light sun whenever it appeared.  Now I have it closer to the outside light.  Hopefully I can keep it alive.

New color changing solar lit butterfly from K-Mart (11 bucks or so)....a bad day to try to get any solar cells charged up!!! RAINY.  As you see the Black Knight is resurfacing from last year both here in front garden area, and also in a full tire later down in post.  I just love this dark purple!!!  Pretty cool!

A bit of bright cheery for you!

Some new kind of flowers have sprung up in front garden!

These lovely sort of lilac colored mums have really hung in there...a perennial for me now!!!  Goodness!!!  What a nice treat!

All this lovliness has popped back up from last year!  Isn't it just amazingly good!!!

Kalanchoe beauty!!!

Another Kalanchoe popping up between the tires!

One succulent tire with lots of Elephants Foot!

My Bunny Ear cactus is a gonner this morning!  Too much rain has killed it.  I believe I've had it about 5-6 years!  It used to be so pretty!  Sad.  You can see a few green pads, but the bulk of it is black and mushy.  I could save some and re-root in the screenroom.  Maybe I will, but on the other hand I am tired of dealing with cactus spines!!!!  (Dirty little secret of mine).

Yellow rose of Texas!  LOL.

The tiny little striped roses (2 plants in here) are blooming their fool heads off right now.  I am waiting for them to get somewhat larger before I gift one to my best friend.  There are lavender, and a white rose in this tire also right now, as they are all small. You can see them to the left of tire.

Happy little gnome is protected from the rain under a canopy of periwinkles!!!

Have a great weekend!

My new baby, Henry Hoya!

Daughter and I were out shopping at K-Mart and I saw this beautiful variegated Hoya. It was love at first sight! Even though I have tried growing one before and experienced miserable failure, I just felt I had to give Henry a go! (Daughter and I named him while walking to the car).....kinda snappy, don't you think???

Wish me luck!!!  Sorry....the sun was setting as I took the pics!  I took a picture from each direction with his shelf mates!

My air plants are blooming!

They turned pink all over, and can you see the purple and yellow blooms??? They are just too showy right now!  Actually some of the blooms are already fading out, but none-the-less, thought it was a fun thing to see!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Monday! Mine was busy, and with added heavy rain this evening, but that was nice, as it actually cooled things down a bit! Thanks for stopping by to see what might be here! Not much, but a cute little something!!! xoxo- Julie
