The Port Saint Lucie Peafowl family came back to visit and snack in our back yard. We are now in the process of coming up with names so that when called they will come a running (wishful thinking) maybe.

Obviously Port Saint Lucie has many ostentations of Peafowls. In fact they are very much protected and they must know it because they will come within one to two feet of a person taking pictures.

Working in the garden becomes extremely busy just prior to the hurricane peak months which are Sept. and Oct. in South Florida.

Harvested our first pineapple.  It is smaller than what we purchase at the store because it was grown from the top of one eaten last year.  But it is free and organic.

Ceriman is strange plant. It grows between the cabbage palm trees with roots from the leaves clinging on to the bark. The leaves are large and leathery. Very pretty. It finally decided to bear fruit, edible fruit. Can’t wait to taste it.

Bird paradise plant is new to us. We always try to grow new plants. Sometimes they grow and sometimes we end up drowning them because of lack of understanding. This plant was given to us by a friend and needed some tender loving care. Now it seems happy and flowering.
