On My Walk This Morning 3f

"Kaleidoscope" Ixora.  Their blossoms are a mixture of yellows, oranges, and corals.




The lady next door who had two orchids earlier now has a third, amazing one.
All of tyhese blossoms are on one stem.  "Antoinette" Orchid.



The two desert rose plants have more blossoms than ever.




"Ruby McLaughlin" Desert Rose with lots of blossoms.





Pink, white, and magenta Vincas / Periwinkle.  They are more hardy than Impatiens
and also last longer.



Magenta Periwinkle.



White Periwinkle.  Each flower looks like a geometric pattern.




Pink Periwinkle




Maria, my neighbor two buildings down, has several Plumeria / Frangipani trees
outside her condo.  The yellow one is "Hawaiian Punch."  These are used to make leis.




"Hawaiian Luau" Pink Plumeria / Frangipani.




"Orange Glow" Epidendrum Orchids



"King's Mantle."  The dark blue is the usual color; the paler blue is a fading blossom.


 

"Blood Orange" Ixora




"Angel Wing Begonias"  make a very nice bed.





"Sunset" Hibiscus




"Bubblegum Pink" Hibiscus




The beds of white wax begonias are at their best, full and vigorous.




The clusters of blossoms are especially full this year.  "White Wax Begonias."




Building 12 now has this new young "Gardenia" plant which is blooming nicely.




A pair of "Gardenias."
