Last Saturday was a beautiful day here in Central Florida with blue skies and of course, lots of sunshine and heat. Around seven PM is a great time to stretch my legs and take a little walk down the street. The sun is lower in the sky and the heat of mid-day has lessened. There is a slight breeze in the air.
In my garden last week, a new large stalk grew on my white amaryllis with 4 buds. The flowers from my Memorial Day surprise were dying back and are now brown. The 4 new flowers are open and beautiful.
Next to the amaryllis is a small miniature Mexican petunia with small blue flowers.
It’s a nice way to end my day. Thanks for stopping by.

Very pretty!
thanks Martha – have a great Thursday!
You know Carol, you have a green thumb. It seems that anything you touch is beautiful.

thanks Paul but I do have failures – I’ve tried planting azaleas and hydrangea multiple times and they always die. I do better with tropicals.
What a lovely sky. And that blue Mexican petunia is especially lovely and new to me.
I hope you’re having blue skies now too.
Great sky shots ~ your evening walk sounds delightful and your garden photos are awesome ~ Xo

An evening walk is a perfect way to end the day! So relaxing. I love your Amaryllis. It is very pretty. Thanks for sharing lovely things, Carol!
Thanks for saying lovely things Debbie – hope you are having a good week
Beautiful flowers. This year my wife planted some Mexican Petunias and I like them.
just be careful as Mexican Petunias can be invasive (miniature are not) – butterflies love them but will not lay eggs on them as they are not native to your area
Beautiful blue skies. I like that little garden critter. Very cute!
Spectacular close-ups of the flowers!
Great shots .
Beautiful photos. Your garden is always full of surprises. Great tips. Thank you for sharing @aclwcc.

Greetings and Salutations! What a lovely blog.
Carol – your amaryllis are always so pretty. I can imagine that you have to get creative in Florida to find cool times of day! One of the benefits of the longer daylight … Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!
Happy Monday. Luv your lovely lilies. I am at #11 on the linky today
Much💛love
It has been a good week with a few light showers making everything so green! Love our Amaryllis! Happy Monday!
Hi Carol 🙂 What a nice walk, thanks for sharing! I love your little hedgehog ornament!! 🙂
Isn’t he cute? I got him at Publix Supermarket a couple of years ago.
You had a scrumptiously gorgeous evening!

What lovely captures thanks for taking us on your walk 🙂
Have a scenictastic week 🙂
It was hot here in Oregon today (up to 90] and I am just about to go outside for the first time , at 7 pm our time! Great minds think alike )).
“only mad dogs and English men go out in the mid day sun” – it’s true!
Lovey shots, Carol.
Your evening walk sounds delightful.
Lovely sky and pretty flowers, great post this week!
This is a wonderful post. Your flowers are so pretty.
Beautiful Amaryllis, Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
