Succulents




Loving these!

Succulents (Echeverias) are arguably the most attractive of all succulents, highly valued for their amazing colours and variation, with the stunning leaf colour of many varieties at its most brilliant in the cooler months. 
Their rosettes range in size from 2cm to 50cm in diameter. They generally flower in the warmer months with colours ranging from white to orange to pink to red.

Yellow poinciana





Yellow poinciana (Peltophorum pterocarpum)  is a species of Peltophorum, native to tropical southeastern Asia and a popularly ornamental tree grown around the world. 

There are two trees known to be in Bermuda, this one is by the Bermuda Aquarium. A stunning splash of yellow next to an orange/red poinciana.

Amazing scented blooms!



Frangipani (Plumeria) is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae. 
It contains seven or eight species of mainly deciduous shrubs and small trees.

Here in Bermuda we have white, varying shades of pink and sometimes you see a deep orange pink with yellow centres.


There is nothing that compares to the beautiful perfume of these blooms!
