I love Florida! February, sunshine, blue sky, snowbirds singing, flowers here and there sprinkled throughout the 'winter garden', what more should I want ;-)

This vine keeps growing and growing, and it does not stop flowering. When do I cut it back?

I am hoping for Nectarines this year if the critters don't beat me to them.

It's about time to harvest Kumquat for making jam.

This Dendrobium plant was a rescue from a box store, it thanks me with flowers every year

I so envy your kumquats! I am just a bit too far north to grow these. I discovered them a few years ago on a vacation to Seaside, Florida. Our cottage had a shrub laden with them just outside the entrance. We gorged ourselves on them. Unfortunately, I never see them in the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteKumquats are small trees, perfect for larger planters, and you can overwinter the Kumquat in the garage :-)
DeleteNice pictures. I hope the nectarines work out this year.
ReplyDeletejust found fruit on the peach tree
