All's quiet on the eastern front


The ocean breeze hits my terrace from the east south east. The only sheltered spot for the new species cane b. coccinea  is behind one of the two pilasters on the terrace. However, even here it is susceptible to being blown about by the easterly breeze. So, I moved the large 12'+ plumeria from the east side of the terrace to the adjacent side of said pilaster. It bends to the breezes offering a decent wind break. Double bonus, the digitate form of the white plumeria's leaves provides some dappling of the stern morning sun.

At times, a restless wind. A real challenge for begonias on il terrazzo.
