The "Red, White, and Lilac Pentas / Egyptians Star Flowers"
is one of my favorites, and I walk by this pot often.
"Pink Impatiens / Busy Lizzies" flourish when the temperatures are cool
and the light is bright.
"Peach Copperleaf" is a beautiful variant of the popular copperleaf.
The "White Privet" has come back and is sending up a number of shoots.
"Lady Priscilla" is a nice flowering bush of yellow hibiscus.
The landscapers do a strange job of trimming on this bush.
"Jasmine" White Phalaenopsis with purple throat. This is one of five orchid
plants outside a condo. They face north and like the bright light, but no sun.
They have been blooming for many weeks now.
Another of the five orchids is "Heloise," yellow with a purple throat.
Many more blossoms will be opening.
"Starburst Clerodendron" on a young tree. There are many of these trees in our area.
They frequently surround a swimming pool. They are quite spectacular
as they burst open.
Close-up of the "Starburst Clerodendron," and you can see where the name
comes from.
This little bush had the most intense red "Crown of Thorns" I have seen.
You can see all the thorns along the stems.
"Maid of Orleans" is a beautiful orchid plant with many buds, and so I shall
have to return to see it again with more flowers. They are big and robust.
It is much fuller this year than last year.
"Happy Days" is a white orchid with pale yellow throat.
There is a big agave plant below it, and I am being stabbed in the leg
as I shoot this picture.
"Happy Days" is growing on a tree alongside "Butterscotch."
Both are fuller and bigger than last year.
"Butterscotch" Orchids with wine colored throats.
I like this one very much.
"Magic Moments" is a dark wine orchid. These flowers are a little
smaller than the usual Phalaenopsis orchids.
