a garden update
there haven’t been large visible changes in our yard
but there have been tiny detailed ones instead
the kind that make you stop and REALLY look
i keep waiting for things to bloom because really, it’s not cold but i guess it is 10-15 degrees cooler than what it normally is
miami winter…
the biggest surprise this week was “the boat”
as i approached it to take pictures of the yellow mushrooms growing out from its bottom, when i looked inside it was like a mushroom party going on in there!
joining Annie for how does your garden grow?
wild right?
the small hibiscus bushes we recently bought are loaded with buds and i just keep waiting….
and then voila
the hibiscus tree however blooms often
and to my susprise, i found a water hyacinth in the pond one morning
and then another the following morning

I love the close ups of all the details-it’s true that at this time of year it’s very much the little changes isn’t it. I can’t wait to get snapping so me new buds in early next year-always makes me feel excited 🙂

Ooo you have fancy mushrooms – I love them – especially the little lime coloured ones and the frilly one that looks like it wants to be a flower!
We must be in tune this week, both going for a purple first flower photo 🙂
Fab to see the Water Hyacinths back too – thank you ever so much for sharing again xx

Loving the Hibiscus and Water Hyacinth but some of those mushrooms are rather special too! I’ve been seeking out orchids and weird plants again 🙂
