Colors of April

We headed to Key West this past weekend, both hubby and I were in need of a day trip on my way I thought I'd post the Colors of April with the pics I took over the weekend. This way a fun relaxing day for us the drive is always great and Key West has a lot of history and local wackiness to keep you entertain, I'll post some other pics of that a bit later in the week. A hybrid Hibiscus in the morning sunlight. Purple bougainvillea in full bloom, these are beautiful, but have long thorns, usually they are used as a barrier because of the thorns.

Banana tree flowers, they look like birds of paradise.

A local at Mallory Square pier, these pilings are for the cruise ships that stop here.

Metal Sculpture Art, very Key West you see these all over the exterior walls of homes in the area. They're whimsical and fun much like the place itself.

Anne's Beach, Mile Marker 73, Overseas Highway, Lower Matecumbe Key, oceanside.

Colors of March

I decided I would join the Colors of the Month Club? Fun with Fiber better known as bspinner has been posting some awesome pictures of the Month along with pics of fiber and projects. I thought I might share what March looks like in South Florida.

I don't know what to say about this Staghorn, she's been with me for 10 years and is taking over the pot with the dead ficus tree stump.

Sweet Basil, just flowering, I use the seeds to keep them going year round.

Marigolds I planted in February.

I don't know the name of this one but it grows in my front garden and I can't kill it, so as Martha would say "it's a good thing".

My flowering Mango tree, super sweet and delicious.
