Today ’s photos are from Michael Post in Hobe Sound , Florida . Michael says,“I have been a nurseryman for most of my 66 years . I retired 20 old age ago to restore our 100 yr old home on 2.5 Acre , 90 % of which is extensively landscaped . We are located in South Florida , in zone 9B , and .5 mile from the sea . Currently , we have about 70 % shadowiness . All of these factor and rut , salt , and shade pose challenge in plant choice in our location .
“ The social organization is a pergola , which I build to create a portal from one division of the garden to another . I have attached an additional photo for a different thought of the pergola .
“ The third exposure is of a small-scale area of my garden on the north side . The coco palm trees are underplanted with flax lilies and orchidaceous plant . The hedge to the left hand is Surinam cherry and the potted trees are lemon . The plants in the depleted right are Green Island ficus . The last pic is of my favorite tree – Angel ’s horn , whose fragrance at dusk is awing . ”
Beautiful , Michael . We rarely get to see gardens from this type of climate . And now I ’m jealous .
