This May day in my Florida garden.


Looks like it may be stormy later, but right now, the air is electric. Just saw a pair of cardinals (Mr. and Mrs. C). He was the reddest red I've ever seen. The old ricrac cactus I moved to the back yard under the oaks is about to bloom, too. Guess it WAS getting too much sun. This is a picture of when it bloomed years ago.

If Molly didn't have my camera somewhere in Europe, I'd have to show you the frangipani/ plumeria/ Hawaiin lei flower tree outside my bedroom window. It's just blooming its fool head off. The air is literally perfumed! It's almost dizzying! (My father used to say, don't ever let them give you anesthesia, because they won't be able to tell the difference - so dizzy might be subjective here...).
