This mystery orchid is in flull-bloom right now along with three other stalks of the same variety. It's no wonder given the awesome job I did repotting them a while back.
Ha! Apparently this is the key to successful orchids.
My golden shrimp plant, Pachystachys lutea, fondly referred to as Bob Fosse, is putting on a good show, jazz hands and all.
Mocha creeps around, doing a full inspection of the inner-workings of my blue plumbago every day. I'm still waiting for a full report of what, exactly, goes on in there.
Although I didn't buy it for its flowers, my coleus is putting them out anyway. I quite like the color, so bonus!
Believe it or not, there is a rose growing in this pot, but right now, the sweet alyssum are the ones in bloom.
This red ginger is about half-way open. I think I like this stage best.
Okay, not exactly a bloom, but I did notice something new emerging from this pot the other night as I walked by.
I think I'll call him Flower, if I want to.

That orchid is beautiful, and so is the coleus! I've never seen a coleus flower before. They're just kept as house plants here in chilly old England.
Love the frog in the pot. :)
Red Ginger! Yes, we saw lots of that when we were in Hawaii but I didn't realize what it was. So beautiful.
Trish-Yes, these are all over Hawaii! I'm not sure if this is the same ginger as they use for ginger root, but when you cut the leaves, they also give off a light, spicy, ginger-y smell. Yum! :)
