Garden Blogger's Bloom Day October 2016

The rains came three weeks ago with Matthew being a young tropical system who later grew into a cat 4 hurricane that devastated Haiti and the Bahamas.


The water receded 2 days after and the ground is still damp in some areas.
These doves hunkered down during the storm in my frangipani trees.
My lone dragon fruit and first from this vine

It weighed a pound  and the taste was similar to a kiwi.
Passion fruits and Barbados cherries are in season.  The cherries make a delicious juice and they freeze well.

Orchids on tree stump finally blooming.
The latest family member rescued from the roadside one rainy night. My little pumpkin is blind with cataracts in both eyes. He is doing well but hasn't yet joined the pack. I was looking for a forever home for him BUT he is so loving and sweet I might find it really hard to let go.

Hello and welcome to Garden Blogger's Bloom day where gardeners around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens. It has been very hot and still. Some rain but still not enough to fill our aquifers for next year. We are hoping that more will come our way. To see more blooming gardens please go over to  May dreams gardens  
Have a great weekend folks.

Bloomday November 2012

Can you imagine that I have forgotten the name of this plant? So I am asking any of you who might know to please enlighten me. Whoopee ...it is known as the lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus radicans). Thank you Dawn Barrow!
 Passion fruits are in season and I am having to fight off the rats and monkeys.

 A rat damaged passion fruit, enjoy for now Mr Rat you have a date with the exterminator!

 Hello and welcome to garden bloggers bloom day where gardeners from around the globe post what is blooming in their gardens.  It has been a very hot November so far with no signs of cooling down.
My sincerest condolences to the families on the North East coast of the USA who have suffered loss of life and property from hurricane Sandy,  I wish them a speedy recovery and to be strong. I follow some blogs in that region and I cannot begin to imagine what they must be going through.

To see more blooming gardens please go over to Carol at may dreams gardens.
