    If you look closely...you can see on the left where thieves rip off limbs on the street side. So, the crummy ones are out front. Sad but true. roxanne

    Even the smallest plumerias are planted in the court yard garden and now I fear I will have "volkswagons" . roxanne

    thanks...I am just learning how to post, only 1 at a time, but may do it each day to get the hang of it. this is over the deck edge toward the water...faces east..roxanne

    This is the other side of the ramp...the big Bottle Brush tree makes too much shade and constantly drops stuff onto the down below ones. Need to learn how to put these on the roofs, but too much cold wind. roxanne

    Beautiful! I love your garden!!

    How many plumerias do you have now? And is it hard to water/fertilize them?

    Rox,

    Love, love, love all your blue potted plumerias. What an oasis you have created there. Makes you want to just sit back and enjoy the scenery. Your plumerias look very happy where they are. Thanks for sharing with us.

    One can never have enough mermaids about. This fushia is one of the hardiest and easiest to make cuttings from...just stick them in the ground in Jan.-Feb. The trailing lobelia is the one that self seeds the easiest. roxanne

    Gorgeous, Rox! Your house is fabulous, and you've done a wonderful job of creating a whimsical garden. Love the cobalt pots, too.

    Muchos Mahalos Jandey...now, if I can just get the post multiple photo thing... my tudor is coming back in a week... :-)

    I love being in the garden and since retiring in '08...we down sized and I went from 250 roses to these on a very small lot....oh well, I can always dig out and give to a neighbor if something is not performing well for me...aloha, roxanne

    I love all the blues. Totally agree on the mermaids. We have them everywhere. Somewhere I saw a pic of mermaids made from old Barbie dolls, they were hanging in a garden. Got a free bag of old Barbies last week and am contemplating the next move to turning them to garden mermaids.
    Tally HO!

    Very nice, Roxanne! Thank you so much for sharing. You've done a great job with the design too. That's a lot of cobalt but it's balanced nicely with the tile and other hues of blue sprinkled throughout.

    So sorry about the thieves! If we're seeing Plumeria at CostCo now, maybe it will get to a point where everyone will have one and no one will have to steal. Some day, some day...

    Cheers!

    We love Hawaii....get islanditis after 10 days though. We live in Ventura...most things I like will grow here.

    Thanks for the kind words on photos/yard....more coming... roxanne

    My hibiscus are starting to go off. The commons are so much easier to take care of than the hybrids. Some sat the hibiscus is the host plant for white fly, I use Bayer Tree and Shrubb and no worries. roxanne
