Southern magnolias in Amazonland.

It’s fig season again!

Enjoying Amazonland this morning.

Now she’s showing off.

Night blooming jasmine. The fragrance is more beautiful than the blossom.

Almost ready to lay the brick for our latest patio project.

Views from this morning’s job site.

Potted up & ready to go to FFC Lincoln Park tomorrow. They are in the garage overnight to keep the rain from them. No need to deal with extra weight & extra mess.

Dancing Queen amaryllis is putting on her show in Amazonland.

Final product.

Today’s project. About a third of the way finished. Trim, roll, clean up & start the weekend!

I was really glad to find this preying mantis egg case when cleaning up my oleander today. This will be third generation mantises in Amazonland!

Before & after of the annual spring hair cut of the ivy topiaries. I’ve had these plants for nearly 17 years.

Otherworldly blossom of the cast iron plant. This is a descendent of my great grandmother’s plant.

Spring beauties awaiting some warmth.

View from this morning’s client meeting.

Parting glance of the square.

Azaleas are nearly at their peak!

The garden is good to go.

The first shot is a before the final cleaning.

The next project is to get this mess cleaned up. A battle with cancer, which was won, & 2 hurricanes did this garden no favors. Stay tuned for the after pic.

One of today’s projects: replanting the windowboxes.

Look at what Amazonland awoke to this morning.

Backyard make over.

Christmas greens with painted garlic chive seed pods & dried hydrangeas. I did not do the garland.

Christmas greens. I did not do the garland.

We are building a HUGE wall today!

Finished product.

Ready for the first install of holiday greens.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

Fall plantings for the urns.

Last morning light on the Island. Will be back in Chicago this evening.

Partial shot of yesterday's & today's progress. Two stone stair cases.

Tomorrow will be the final plantings & mulch.

The end is in sight!

2 stone retaining walls plus 3 other side show all going at once today.

Today's work.
