My rock garden takes shape… or how to make my part of the Sunshine State a bit less like Florida

Chris and Carol 5 Comments

It’s not easy creating a rock garden in Florida and it’s certainly not easy maintaining a rock garden when you basically live in a forest. The rewards, in this case after some late afternoon thundershowers, is my little moment of Zen. ^.^

Nearby the jasmine soaks up the rain – the blossoms are about to show.

Two azaleas in a remote part of our side garden – the absolute best place for them and the perfect time for these two plants to bloom. They’re essentially wild azaleas native to North Florida and have much smaller blossoms than our front garden plants. No fertilizer just a good dose of sunshine, water, and plenty of oak leaves to make the soil acidic.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Gardening! – Chris

The azaleas in my backyard have bloomed and although I don’t recall exactly what color these are, they sure are colorful!

Holly Berries – Tuesday

Chris and Carol 2 Comments

Wandering around the front yard yesterday, the stark contrast between the deep red of the berries and the vivid greens of the leaves caught my eye. Shot with my Samsung Galaxy S8+ with only a touch of post-production on my part. What I like best is that the image doesn’t look digital – it has some texture and depth not often seen with the eye etching resolution of DSLRs.
