Garden Update

The beautiful summer and mostly warm October we had has resulted in a mostly flourishing garden. In addition Hubby improved our bird bath, making the bottom of the water bowl much more attractive with the help of left-over tiles from our shower remodel.

Our yellow ginger bloomed bringing the scent of Hawaii to southern California.

Another star of the garden is our Black Taro. Was it the extra water that helped or me telling it how lovely it is all the time?

As well as its gorgeous purple/black front colour and the beautiful green a leaf starts off as (which is also on its back side), the leaves produce a semi-opaque maroon colour when the sun shines through the leaves.


Sadly we seem to have lost our plumeria which appears to be rotting from the inside. I've decided not to show a picture for those among you who find the sight of injured and dying plants too distressing.
