<\/a><\/p>\nThis is a dendrobium that my friend Danny bought me three years ago. He was looking pretty wan a while back – but now . . .<\/p>\n
Here’s a close up.<\/p>\n Eggplants do really well here. These are young, Violette de Firenze.<\/p>\n Here’s a close up – they haven’t started blooming yet, but the leaves are beautifully veined and healthy.<\/p>\n I’m also growing three varieties of tomatoes. This is Chapman, gorgeously convoluted, just like the package promised.<\/p>\n I love to grow from seed, open pollinated, unusual varieties, all in pots because I have a small yard.<\/p>\n Here’s a close up of the tomatoes on this plant, named Tie-Dye. How could I resist a tomato with a name like Tie-Dye. Impossible!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And another variety, the Golden German Queen, flowering in close-up.<\/p>\n Swiss chard is not as crazy about the heat but doing well so far. This is “Rainbow” also grown from seed.<\/p>\n What a luxury to have these Caladiums reappear every year from bulbs left in the ground.<\/p>\n My ginger boyz.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Coconuts from the palm out back.<\/p>\n Sometimes I get unexpected company.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sussing out the amenities.<\/p>\n Then heading on out . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Last seen making for these fruiting magenta leaves.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
