Summer flowers & plants

Agave plant provides a sculptural note to the SW corner of the garden -

We have 3 varieties of anturium, this one is my favorite -

These bananas should be ripe in about 5 months ... in past years, blue tanagers have built their nest on top of the bunch, and had their hatchlings airborne by harvest time - have not seen the tanagers - yet - but I am expecting them to arrive soon.

Of course, when one lives in paradise, they also need birds of paradise in the garden -

Boca de lion (lion's mouth) is another favorite -

I consider bougainvillea to be beautiful botanical barb wire (have thorns), so have several colors growing on our exterior walls.

Love the native bromeliads, too

Our 2 dozen oldest coffee bushes are in full bloom - very sweet aroma!

These heliconias have blossoms, then leaves - I was lucky to get a photo where one can see both.
