The garden is in Sebastian, Florida The photographs were taken from January to December, 2001 The gardeners are Ellie Clark and Daniel Clark     January     After this month's frosts killed off much of our above-ground growth, a few flowering plants displayed their beauty as if nothing had happened. This Jasmine on the back fence was one.     February     Well, of course the Azaleas didn't mind the cold at all !       March     New project started: in the front yard, a brick path with an east-west compass bearing. You are looking westward.     A cascade of White Jasmine spills over the deck railing.     The Iris says, "Spring is here!"     Seed flats sit on the deck chairs under the Bougainvillea blossoms.     It's a Malagasy Dragon Tree among the ferns on the shady mound in the front yard.     Staghorn Fern hangs on a ficus tree that cooperates by not growing fast the way ficuses usually do.     A dug-up pine stump, flipped over, makes a nice home for Spider Plants. Ginger coming up on the left.     Had to prune the dead stuff off the Papaya behind the back fence.     April     Easter morning: Prayer Plants with their tiny white flowers.     Easter morning: Ginger poking up from the ground cover.     Easter morning: Cleome, flowering better than we've seen here before.     Easter morning: Bottlebrush reaches up beside the house.     The back yard as seen from the guest room window.     Ellie's got the wheelbarrow ready -- the last of the seedlings will be set into the ground.     May     Ferns, Coleus, Impatiens, Tasmanian Violet.     Firecracker and Melampodium.     The front bed.     A Lily.     Crepe Myrtle flowers and a young Jacaranda's long limbs.     As springtime matures, some of the garden takes on a jungle-like appearance.     Looking south to the garage and house.     Welcome to the Garden House.     Mother's Day: Mother Earth decorates herself with a colorful Caladium.     Mother's Day: Bleeding Hearts on a back yard trellis.     Mother's Day: Sweet Potato Vine and Impatiens wander through a bed of Tasmanian Violet leaves and flowers.     A sticky, candy-like Ginger bud rises up in front of an Oak and a Fern Tree.     The first Gardenias announce the arrival of the month of flowers. On Mayday night, two small arrangements sit on the kitchen windowsill.     June     Next to the driveway.     Kalanchoe Fedtschenkoi and marigolds.     Along the east side, 7 am.     In Japanese, "Namu Amida Butsu."     A Copper Plant.     A path in paradise.     Salvia and friends.     View from the compost heap.     Looking out back as the rain falls.     July     Ye olde compost heap excavated for its treasures.     Slowly, bricks and clippers shape a formal geometry.     The southeast corner.     We've forgotten what it's called, but it looks pretty.     At the entrance, the Melampodium thrives in the summer heat.     August     High Summer in all its glory.     The Bromeliad bed.     Long Jacaranda limbs stretch up into the late afternoon sky.     Exuberant Variegated Hibiscus, with a maroon variety of Hibiscus to the left.     Vigorous summer growth pits Thryallis and Ti Plant against each other, competing for the same space.     Dead down to the roots in January, the Angel Trumpet blooms again!     September     Triumph.     Contentment.     Cheer.     Happiness.     Wealth.     October     Our Lavender hedge.     Nature knows no law but abundance.     The old plastic bucket.     Landscape ties define the front edge of the garden.     Welcome to wonderland.     Basil in the foreground.     Okra in the foreground.     A favorite view.     Canna.     Mussaenda and Angel Trumpet.     November     Oak, Spanish Bayonet, Areca Palm, Fern Tree, Ginger.     Yes, we have Bananas -- the plants, but no fruit this year.     The Papaya in back was just a skeleton of sticks after January's frost.     Dwarf Snowbush.     Pythagorean pathway.     Rampant Philodendron.     Mystery of afternoon.     December     You can't see the thorns here, but the Crown of Thorns is aptly named.     Croton foliage rises like flames.     Mother Nature's brush paints Coleus in vivid hues.     No snow here, but every winter this deep purple specimen (whose name is unknown to us) sends out a blizzard of miniature snowballs.     Season's Greetings!     The house and grounds seen from the north.     The wheelbarrow is put away as a year's work comes to an end.     As we leave, a last look down at the southwest triangle.     The big old pine between Glory Garden and the grapefruit grove stands watch through the years over the shorter folks below.
