April Garden Flowers

(Amaryllis is a subtropical bulb that belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family and is native to South Africa. It is grown as a potted plant in most parts of the United States but can also be grown outdoors year round in warm areas like Florida.)

The white frangipani (Plumeria alba) is a deciduous plumeria tree that is native to tropical areas. 

 

 

Today I’m sharing a few photos taken during the month of April in my central Florida tropical garden. Let’s start with my amaryllis.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the temperatures in the 80’s for several weeks, my white frangipani (plumeria) bloomed. I will have loads of flowers until about September. Then the flowers will start to disappear and the leaves will be gone by October.  The plant is then dormant until the next spring.

I was raised in Tennessee but have lived in Florida for many years. Love my small home in the Tampa Bay area and its developing garden. My decorating style is eclectic - some vintage, some cottage, all with a modern flair. Pursuing a healthier lifestyle. Spent many years in social services but am happily retired.

    1. What I love about them is the fact they don’t require a lot of care. Plant and let them get sun and rain. You have beautiful flowers!

I love to make new friends and get to know you.
