Plus the grass needs cut again. Busy time of year. Burn a lot of calories and a lot of 2 stroke oil.
Over and out.
I do not have annuals because the ground-cover and other plants contrast each other colorfully and really well.
The ground cover is purple with pink flowers that open daily and never fall off . Right now, the society garlic (pink) the ground cover (purple, African Iris (white and yellow), and my Lilly of the Nile (light blue), are blooming and all but the Lilly of the Nile bloom all summer.
Mulched like 4"+ last year so few to no weeds and it all looks good for another year. Lawn looks great as do the trees and palms. Nothing could kill the hollies, sago palm, cardboard palm, sago palms, Ligustrum or pittosporum....
Most importantly, I started collecting people's spent orchids after they were done blooming over the last year. I have been easily taking care of them watering like 4-6/year and that is it. Key is that they get indirect afternoon sunlight. I have about 10 white and yellows blooms on two plants and a fuchsia and yellow bloom just starting to open up!
