Amazing wildflowers




I did not plant these beautiful flowers. They are wildflowers, and started growing around the base of the large palm tree. They kept growing until they completely surrounded the base.

The gardener began to trim them into a round shape, and they have been there for years, adding rich color to the back yard. The hummingbirds and butterflies love snacking on them.

After I had lived here for a couple of years, I discovered a small palm tree about two feet high growing in the middle of the Oleanders. I dug it out and moved it several feet, next to the big palm tree. The newer palm is now taller than I am, and loves its new location.
