<\/a>The garden is an eclectic mix of formal, wild, native and foreign. Just like me! I just planted these purple kale in a formal semi-circle around the Satin tree.\u00a0 I hope the purple centers expand.<\/p>\nThe magnificent triple planted white and blush Phaleonopsis Danny brought me for Christmas holds vigil by the doorway.<\/p>\n Scotch Bonnet peppers with many offspring. Yay!<\/p>\n A gorgeous reblooming orphan (unnamed) orchid that I have had for about a year. He has another stalk so he must be happy with me.<\/p>\n My Christmas cactus drama queen who will make me wait until well into January before\u00a0 blooming. Smart girl, she didn’t want to share the stage with Poinsettias, Amaryllis. She is a gorgeous hot pink with orange tendrils. I love the rebloomers!<\/p>\n I couldn’t resist these bright heat resistant Geraniums. I put three of them in this pot for instant pop! Long purple eggplants keep on coming.<\/p>\n And the white ones, too . . .<\/p>\n<\/a>I transplanted these neon bromiliads because they were burning in the sun and I like the way they look next to the tall impatiens.<\/p>\n<\/a>My bronze ( also transplanted) peacock looks fabulous and much happier in the midst of flowers.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>Another pepper variety that I grew from seed is about to flower. They have taken a long time to flourish – about 3 months.\u00a0 I think these peppers will be\u00a0 small, hot and purple.<\/p>\n<\/a>Close up . . .<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>Speaking of which – another latenik! This time an Amaryllis.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>My ongoing winter harvest makes me feel lucky and grateful. Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
