Spring is near......probably nearer than it should be but it is near

To help those of you who like me are finally getting a little winter this late in the season, just when it seemed spring like for so long, here is a photo to get you through the last few weeks.

Orange Blossom Special Plumeria

Smells beautiful, like baby powder with a slight floral scent. It took 3 years but I finally raised one from the beginning to flower instead of getting one already ready to flower.

In fact, I need lots of flowers blooming around me. Home and garden shows are starting up, so I will get my early fill there.

And I am impressed that you raised that beauty!
