Garden and Hibiscus Update

I want to take you around my garden for a walk. Come see a few of the goodies that are growing. First a stop at the Plumeria plant that is in the second season waiting to bloom, the Plumeria has such beautiful foilage. I can't wait to see the flower and smell it's beautiful frangrance.

.
to the right of the Plumeria are some yellow and orange daisy plants, and lavender in the front. Below is a top view of the Plumeria, I have to repot the Plumeria this weekend so it has more room to grow.

Below is my Russian Sage surrounded by mint, lemon sage and oregano with latrice shoots in back. The Latrice have beautiful purple flowers stalks!!
A cucumber flower!! mmmm... soon it will be a cucumber salad everyday for a month or two, followed by canning cucumber pickles!!!
Blueberries!! This is a four year old plant that gives us about a quart of berries. I planted three more berry plants this year because I love blueberry pancakes in the winter!!!

Lastly, I am happy to report that I am almost finished with my Yellow Hibiscus and it won't be long till I have it hung in my bedroom or hallway. I want to paint a series of Hibiscus and Plumeria flowers. I love the way I feel when I look at these flowers, maybe it's the "Déjà vu" of Hawaiin Island scents and trade winds. These flowers always make me feel cheerful and energetic!!!



I will take you around on more garden walks when the weather co-operates soon! Until then happy picking!!!
