Wednesday Walk

This is my post for #wednesdaywalk hosted by @tattoodjay

A walk around my yard.

My bananas are getting ripe, I love them they are a lot sweeter and flavorful than the ones you buy in the stores. I think because they pick them so green they do not have time to get sweet.

This is my butternut squash, it had a female flower open but no male flower so I took a male flower off the Seminole squash and mated it with the female butternut, I hope this will work but if I plant the seeds there is no telling what I will get. It should be interesting.

I do have one butternut that developed.

I drilled more holes in my sandflea bucket and my husband came home and seen it, he thinks the holes are to big. I do not think they are to big. We will see who is right. He was talking about going to get fleas tomorrow, I do not want to go because I have to cook Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe he will change his mind.

A few years ago I brought this coconut home from the beach, I threw it on the ground over our septic tank and it started growing and I could not let it grow there so I planted it in a big pot.

Some people call this lipstick plant, I call it firecracker plant. When the old fish house closed in 2005 after the hurricanes took most of it out, I dug up this plant, Granny Smith planted the first one when they opened in 1932.

This is firebush hummingbirds and butterflies
love it.

This is bluebells they look purple to me but I am not the one that named it.

This is decorative ginger

This is a camellia, my youngest daughter was very sick and I had to take her to Jacksonville to the Mayo Clinic. There was an old cemetery behind the place where we were staying and it had camellias planted around it. I clipped a small cutting on one of the limbs that was too long. I do not think it is stealing when I know the landscape person will cut it off and throw them away. That is my reasoning.

Here is a desert rose that I have made a Bonsai out of.

This one is a cherry jubilee alamanda
