Beautiful flowers...things are just beginning to bloom around here, like the wife's wisteria. Got some wild flowers planted, and hoping for some color (besides green) in the front yard soon.

Beautiful shots. Finally getting a good rain today in Indrio, so maybe we'll start to see more blooms soon.

Sure are pretty.

Yes, finally we had a substantial rain today as well.

I bet your yard smells as good as it looks. I used to love the smell of frangipani flowers when you'd walk by them.
Nice. 👍

What kind of lizard is that?

It is a Cuban Anole. Very common but a fairly recent invasive species. They eat bugs like crazy.

I can smell those flowers from here! Very beautiful and you definitely have a green thumb.👍🏻

If they are any thing like the Mediterranean gecko we have around here, they will push out the all the other lizard species we have.

We had another Anole here, the Green Anole. It has been pushed out by the Cuban Anoles. There are still a few around but not many. Sadly, Florida has more invasive creatures than any state by a large margin. Most cause little harm. The Burmese Python has totally changed the ecosystem in the Everglades. You can Google the list of Florida's invasive animals, it's crazy.
