Hello All, We're getting near the end of summer and I am ready for it to cool off a little. When It does cool we get back in the mood for planting. Cleaning up the plants that have gotten too big, and making way for the plants that like the cooler weather. It's around this time of year that you see the fabulous Bird of Paradise begin to put up blooms. The one in the picture was purchased last year by Susan Howell, one of our local plant lovers. Susan got a two for one. She enjoys this beautiful plant and she won the Mexico Beach Photo Contest with this picture. Congrats Susan! For those of you close enough to stop by the Garden, I have purchased 6 more of this great specimen. I also have more great pictures to share with you that have been sent to me by our customer friends. I truly love it when you send pictures of your Gardens with plants and things you have added from our Garden. Don't Forget to Water, Dena
