This afternoon, Wayne and I headed out to the
USF Botanical Gardens for the last few hours of the annual Butterfly and Herb Fair. We scored a six pack of assorted flowering butterfly plants to fill a planter Wayne made out of the bottom of an old compressor tank. We found a
Tibouchina to replace the one we lost in the freeze, and an
amorphophallus bulbifer. Since the
voodoo lily bloom, I've wanted more of these. This one will eventually have a jack-in-the-pulpit type bloom.
After the hot and sweaty work of planting our finds, we sat on the patio with a cold beverage to enjoy the view. Here are a few pictures of what's blooming now. Clicking on them will give you descriptions and bigger pictures.
