Can not believe it is the last day of March already! I have not got much time to post recently, but everyday I can find something new blooming in my garden.
Let me give you a quick tour in my March garden without much words...
This Catteleya bloomed almost the same time as last year.

When I bought this moth orchid, it was in a bad state, so I got it at a bargain price. Now after some tender loving care, it rewarded me its beautiful flowers. Love the unique pattern of the flower.
This white moth orchid also blooms the second time for me.
Some of my favorite container combinations...

This Seemannia sylvatica 'Bolivian Sunset' has been non-stopping blooming since last November. It will be interesting to see if it can tolerate Florida heat and humidity as well.

I recently bought two blue containers, and this is one of them. The plants I have chosen to put in are: One Cordyline baurei 'Red Star' , verbena (white and pink stripe) and another unknown plant (orange flowers).
A close look... I lost the tag of this small orange flower. Anybody who recognizes the plant please share the name with me.
We got lots of much needed rain on past Tuesday and Wednesday. Bromeliads always look extra fresh and beautiful after the rain.
I cut back this Cat Whiskers to almost half before the winter, now it is growing like wild again. The red leave coleus is one of my favorite coleus plants. I planted it last summer, and it still remians its beautiful color even it has grown much bigger. I also have rooted several cuttings successfully.
Just love the hot pink of this Hawaii Ti leaves!
First several caladiums emerged from the ground. I move them into this new side garden border, next to the air conditioner unit. This spot used to be an eye sore, now it has some much needed colors added.
Three of my ground orchids have started blooming again. Ground orchids have long blooming period in South Florida, and they have become one of my favorite collections.
More Dietes bicolor flowers have opened since they opened the first flower about three weeks ago.
This Dipladenia pink certainly knows the spring is coming. It has been climbing up against the fence, and peeking over neighbour's gackyard.
Have a nice weekend!
aloha amy,

Ooh, I have that same purple and yellow Harlequin Phalaenopsis. It too is one of my faves. Husband bought it for me for Valentine's last year. I've not had many reblooms this past year in the Orchid Room, but I think this might be one of the orchids now in bud. (I've lost track of which orchid is which. Fingers crossed.)
ReplyDeleteLovin' all your containers! They are all so lush and colorful. I wish I could be a better container gardener. Something to work on... Wonderful broms as usual!
Now this was a blooming post! You have so much in flower and those orchids are gorgeous. My white Phal finally bloomed, but not as full of flower as your beauty.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see a garden in a climate so different from mine. It is an explosion of colour!
ReplyDeleteHi Ami...You've got a great collection of broms, but you know I love the orchids the best. I need to go and see if my Jewel box is getting ready to bloom. She blooms every April...like clockwork. Your garden looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos Ami! I like your orchids very much. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteooohhh, Ami... all those pretty blooms and orchids and broms... really lovely.
ReplyDeleteI think your little orange flower is a calibrachoa or million bells... they come in lots of different colors. They like our cooler months and will do well until the humidity hits and then they will usually fade away. Here's a link that might help you ID it...

ReplyDeleteOh wow! You have some beautiful blooms in your garden. Those broms look so nice and the colors really pop against those white stones.
ReplyDeleteAmi, Your Orchids are really looking good. It's funny how you start with just one and before you know it they are everywhere. Orchids are quite addicting it seems.
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so fresh and beautiful, a credit to you. Your March garden is wonderful, packed with beauty and interesting plants. I love your ground orchids; Ami you really have a plants woman's garden with all your variety of plants. I enjoyed the tour very much.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. Have a nice day/Gela

ReplyDeleteHi, Ami! Your March garden is gorgeous (although I'm quite late - it's April 13)! Your orchids are fantastic!! You must be in heaven...I know how much you love them! Your broms are also doing so well - bravo! And the Orange Marmalade looks beautiful! Nice color combo. All of your blooms have really matured - I'm enjoying them!
