Flowers in the Neighborhood

Fortunately, the tenants on both sides of us are allowed to plant and dress up their little piece of heaven on the Jersey Shore. Here are some of them:

When I asked just when did he plant that gorgeous flower, he laughed and said 3 years ago, but it just looked like a stick...until he ran it over with his lawnmower! Guess that flower decided that if it wanted to live, it better do something spectacular: And it sure did.


My neighbor's sunflowers, dwarfs compared to mine, but they are a beautiful and solid wall of yellow bordering her yard.


Roses LAST year

Roses THIS year! We are so planting more of these!


Planters are doing very well!







This last one just for fun. It was gift was from one of our workers (Diane), and it always makes me smile to see it.

  1. So, what is the neighbor's plant called? It's got a vibrant red color. It looks somewhat like a bougainvillea, but the flower itself look too large.

  2. Hibiscus. I have a smaller one out front, pinkish that has finally bloomed with the promise of more buds. And yes, those flowers are huge, a little smaller than a dinner plate.
