It is nice to be able to go back every now and then and see how the garden is shaping up in our absence. There is a lot of pruning and weeding to be done each time, all with the knowledge that it will be back to the way it is very soon. Nevertheless it seems like something that needs to be done, or perhaps we do it only because it is so therapeutic. To wander around, see what has grown where, what has bloomed, what has perhaps not survived.. it is all so wonderful.
Going close to the heliconias gives the impression of having entered a south american forest.. it has become so dense. There are blooms all over, the red twisted flower bracts hanging here and there.
There are other images, each as wondrous as the next.

Things look really nice and lush
Love your Ming Aralia and the variegated Rhoeo. The Caladium and Coleus are fabulous too. We commonly call Heliconia blooms Lobster Claws, and obviously the ants are loving the claws at the moment. Things are looking terrific.
thank you both.

Lovely collection!
Liked the Variegated Rhoeo among the grass.
Very nice.
Hope I meant it correctly.
