Two Cattleya orchids blooming in the Vanda arbor. Cattleyas range in size, color and fragrance. The large magenta orchid “Hawaii” has an intoxicating scent. The smaller dark red cat not so much, but it sure is striking.

It’s been a very hot summer in the garden and it’s not going to cool down anytime soon. The humidity is very high (60-70%) but it doesn’t faze the vandas, the stinkhorn mushrooms that keep popping up and the atala butterflies.

A lovely Potinara Paradise Beauty orchid is blooming in our Vanda Arbor. This one is known as 'Marcela'. She is a small hybrid of Brassavola, Cattleya, Laelia and Sophronitis.

Looking out over the garden from the white gazebo at the top of the hill. A lovely vantage point that takes in the sky and sea. The prickly pear is in full bloom.

Cooling off by the waterfall. Today we added two lovely bromeliads, Vriesea sanguinolenta which adds a bit of burgundy red to the scene. They are native to tropical Central and South America and some Caribbean islands. This epiphyte, which can grow up to 6 feet tall when flowering, is popular for its ornamental value and is often cultivated in landscapes and interiorscapes. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-drained soil.
