Lovely flower but blooming only shyly for me this year. Too bad, I have masses of it over handrail.. I tihnk the new growth, where the the flowers form, is getting attacked by something mean.
Duranta, (below) pretty vanilla smell, beautiful blue flowers. It's loving the warmer more direct sun, regular watering and feeding. It is prone to white fly, but with moral support seems to be able to fight off the offenders to a good degree.
White bleeding heart, a shy bloomer so far this year.

| U402 begonia extraordinaire |
Under the sheltering blades of the white bird-of-paradise, begonia 'u402', a venezeulan species, is currently enjoying full mid-morning sun for several hours..-- and this is S FL sun. It is a dainty-looking workhorse- hardy, easy to grow and eager to bloom. It started flowering in January, still going strong (as are several other begonias, they are worth all the trouble!!).
No Pests on this buxom gal, rhizome like thick snakes creeping over edge of pot.
I love lime, the scarlet makes it pop. This boy is making a great effort to fill up the pot.
