Mr. Moy Ginger's Surprise bloom

      I was walking in the garden yesterday and I smelled a floral smell, like some kind of flower was in bloom. Then I noticed later the the Mr. Moy Ginger in my tropical themed garden was blooming. The flower smells amazing and is very beautiful. I was not expecting it to bloom really as it's almost the middle of October.

Banana's, my tropical garden.

So I am sorry for the long hiatus I took from blogging. I have been very busy working and I just graduated from College with my BA in History. I took some photos of the tropical section of my garden which includes Japanese Fiber Banana aka Musa Basjoo, various elephant ears, and Cannas among others. You can see that they have all grown quite a bit since I took photos of them last at the begging of the season.

Bringing in the Tropicals for the Winter, Confessions of a Plant Hoarder

So as it is getting colder and winter is fast approaching I have been trying to lug in all of the tender tropicals and houseplants after they spent their summer vacation outside. Some of the larger plants were super heavy, my house looks like a jungle now. I keep telling myself I am going to get rid of some of these plants and I do give some away, but then I buy more. I guess I am a bit of a plant hoarder but oh well there are worse things in life, lol. I enjoy my plants though.
