Eye Candy Friday Presents Christmas in July

One Christmas a friend gave me a pot of lilies. They continue to produce beautiful white blooms--but in July.

Jacaranda blossoms fill our skies this time of year. I never get over the thrill of seeing these trees in bloom.

Eye Candy Friday presents N*k*d Ladies

They are called that because the flowers arrive long after all the foliage has died. I began with 5 plants purchased at a charity farmers market over 20 years ago. They reproduce without any human assistance (my kind of gardening). This year over 50 stalks shot up, each of which produced numerous large pink blossoms. These are from the south end of the garden fence.















This is a closeup of the ones on the north end.
