Poppin' PINK!


One of the first trees we planted is commonly called a "firecracker tree" and even after asking around, we have yet to find it's botanical name. (do YOU know?)


 It usually blooms just in time for New Years and here are the baby PINK buds, just waiting to burst.  I'll include another photo after the explosion.

Next are some PINK orchids that we found hidden under piles of overgrown vines and ferns.  Last year we divided them, and it looks like they too like to bloom in January.  We placed a few at the feet of our Frank Lloyd Wright statue -- our front door greeter.





Finally, is our Double-D size passion fruit, now sporting a PINK make-shift support bra.  The fruit is now over 9" long, and if it fell off the vine at this point, it might just splatter and we'd never see it ripen.

Aren't we just Pretty N Pink!!
