POST WORTHY FLOWERS
I decided that to be able to claim being a trend setter, spanning the globe...I could not follow the herd..Not that there is anything wrong with it. However I always wonder, as a critic, why should I post a photo that anyjuan could find a hundred times in the web or any gardening post?
That is why Calathea loeseneri and Chrysothemis pulchella appear here. The fine flower from this Calathea has the texture and colors of Bird of Paradise, an impressive, excellent flower for arrangements.
The next one, has an exuberant foliage, shiny and attractive. Neither one is a common place in any garden down here or many blogs anyjuere.
The agavacea to right of the last mentioned was bought from a catalog during the New York exile.
It is eleven years old. The first two have been in my collection for the last year. I have to thank Rengui, my inlaw and collaborator with many decades of expertise..
The green scary iguana, is the bonus...Scared the hell out of your humblenees this morning. Not native or endemic, has become a plague in our environment. The urban and rural, including sea shores, mangroves, everyjuere...They are the result of scum bags who imported them, followed by the mentally retards buying and throwing them away when bored.
The vegetation is in the north garden. The iguana, in the west.

NON BOTANICAL CONSIDERATIONS
I believe gardening should be a pleasurable activity without any high intensity shores. Hedges, bonsais, turf, pruning and trimming are out of the question, not in my garden, with very few exceptions.
The white house right in front of ours has new owners. The old fart had already marked his territory destroying for good all the little vegetation in front. The house in question had this shitty, ill pruned croton/hibiscus hedge and a couple of Dracaena marginata. Nevertheless, it served some purpose, at least from my critical view. It offered privacy for them and myself. When I sit in our porch, I did not have to look/see their ugly mugs..
It reduced the noise and glare. Theoretically, vegetation for hedges should be any with small leaves, like bonsais, more or less, preferably small, slow growth bushes.
Not in Puerto Rico. The fools for hire, property owners plant three or four varieties of Ficus. Such stupidity most be native/endemic.
But I will not get into that aspect of our island nation gardening trends in the asphalt/concrete isle. Not today.
With the passing of time, I am learning that perfection is something not everyone achieve and or aim for. The hedge featuring in this post is an example. It was not perfect, aesthetically dubious, but it was useful.

Back to the studio.
