[click on this picture, then click that one for a treat]

 (A)  Behind starts with "B".  This greenery is Behind our pool.  We used to have three tall palm trees but a mean frost one year killed them all.  This palm is more frost resistant.  There are two tall Blackberry Bushes where the other two palm trees were.

Then we have stuff Beside the pool, this is our Orange Tree at the right side.   Last year it had more than 50 oranges,  this year only two have set on.


(B) "Black":  Fourth of July. "Pitch Black" along the Hudson River was being lit up by fireworks.  Note the Reflections in the water.  Manhattan is to the left, where we embarked for a Princess Cruise to Nova Scotia.  I'm not sure where straight ahead is.  The Brooklyn Shipyard maybe?


(C) A FavoriteMrs. Jim's Favorite, Beanpole Plumeria, is starting to Bloom.  She grew it from a cutting that had two small leaves and no root.

Most of these plants need taken in for the night when frost is a threat.  I'm thinking a bigger white pot from the garage and burying it. I also have a pretty Lattino paint fired pot that would stay above ground.  We will see about this one, treat it nice and we might be rewarded.  Or we likely will find a place to stick it and see how it grows. 



(D) Reflections:  The Houston Medical Hospital facility near us out I-10 Freeway has pretty Blackish Blue Mirror windows. 



(E)   A Lagniappe for you:  Behind the Hospital is a Lake which Beautifies the Flood Control water collection area.

  3. Your backyard is amazing, the lush greenery looking so nice - a stylish oasis in Houston. And oranges? I wish we had the climate to grow citrus in New England!
