The Florals at Busch Gardens in November




The flowers are beautiful!  



This draping orange orchid was stunning to see in person! 



The white dot on the read leaf is actually a long white stamen growing out of a red lily! 


 Varieties of orchids are tumbling over each other in this bed



 Christmas decorations and flowers together

Everywhere there were masses of flowers

These Cladium's were so thick and beautiful as a border.


I "spotted" these and later found out they are called Eyeballs!  

The cactus was even blooming in this dry gulch town

Some sort of bottle brush bloom


 Shrubs were blooming

And this ray of sunshine!  Yellow and gold Marigold's

How beautiful! I always love flowers in gardens. Goodness, I didn't know they were called bottle brush, the 3rd to the last photos. We call them Dwarf's Beard in my side of the pond :)

How pretty. I haven't learned all of the names of the flowers here in Florida but I sure love seeing them. My Poinsettia has some blooms, too! Happy Thanksgiving my friend!

I would love to have these beautiful gardens around me. My favourite is your MoM contribution-such beautiful colour and patterns. I also like the third from the bottom a lot.
Thank you for sharing with Mandarin Orange Monday:)

Future Non Scary Trunk or Treat Ideas

Image
We had a Family Fun Night at our church on Wednesday Oct 31 and the public was invited to participate via flyers and signs.  The two hour fun night had several event areas.  In the sanctuary the teens had a fun 10 minute skit they put on every half hour of the evening.  The one side of the church's parking lot had a huge bouncy house and a dozen or so carnival games with prizes and the other side of the church on the parking lot we had a Trunk or Treat.   I participated on the Trunk or Treat event and unfortunately was so busy I didn't get over to the other events for photos. I was able to photograph some of the other decorated trunks while they were setting up to get future ideas.  It was my first time of participating in this kind of event although my grandkids have gone to them in years past.   I charged it up a bit with some extras at the last minute, like lights and some other decorations.   I repurposed my house decor for one evening...so I didn't

Disney World's Polynesian Resort Hotel

When we first arrived at Disney World we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom.  Mr. Bill remarked, as we passed the Polynesian Resort, he never had any desire to stay there.  It looked boring to him from the outside.  I hadn't thought much about it, but I did like the lit torches when we passed by on the monorail.  I decided this trip, since we had a free day, we would stop in and tour the three hotels on the line.  We toured the Grand Floridian , the Polynesian Resort and the Contemporary Resort From a distance it doesn't look too exciting.  I could understand his lack of enthusiasm.   When we stepped off the monorail however, the entrance was incredibly gorgeous.  The waterfall was something we hadn't noticed as it was somewhat hidden from the view of the passengers riding.  It was framed by colorful blooms and multiply kinds of foliage.  Completely setting the stage for a visit in the South Seas.   Inside the decor was tropical and spacious with o
