This little blog has helped, in that, I have been cruising some of the neighborhoods to grab images to share with you. As I drive, I come across so many properties that I once landscaped or maintained. It’s kind of strange, in tropical landscaping things change fast…REAL fast.
Hurricane Wilma sure didn’t help, not that much wind but much of the Lower and Middle Keys were overwashed with salt water. So many plants died from saltwater intrusion. Now we have the invasion of the
iguanas. Gardens have had it tough down here.
Hmmm… back to the point… the gardens I once thought of as mine have changed, the owners have changed but in some way they are still mine. Sort of like an old flame from high school, you remember them the way they were, appreciate them as they are now and you still care…even if just a little bit. So I hope you understand me when I say…it’s all my garden.

I guess we share many common plants.It is very interesting to see what others living half the world away are growing at the same time. The hibiscus is gorgeous and the last flower reminds me of the bird of paradise.
Such beauty in your neck of the "woods". I never had to deal with iguanas. What do they do to plants? And hurricanes, I guess I will take a blizzard anyday.

Yes, it's all your garden. You gave those places your time, sweat, imagination, inspiration, etc. I am curious - do the iguanas cause any damage to gardens?
