Sundays in my SWAMP

I was looking out my kitchen window this morning 

and saw that one of the trees out back 

had beautiful white flowers blooming on it.  

The branches are very high, so I couldn't pick any blooms.

I couldn't figure out what kind of tree it was.

I could tell by the leaves that it wasn't a magnolia, 

and the blooms were too big to be dogwoods.

So I asked hubby, who immediately said, 

"It's a bay tree.  They grow in Florida swamps."

And that definitely describes our home - 

a Florida swamp.

I knew he would know what kind of tree it was. 

His knowledge of the outdoors is practically encyclopedic.

Amazing.

Can you find the flowers?  There are three.

 I hope you aren't tired of seeing pictures of my caladium plants yet.  

Because I really love them, and they're doing so well.  

I have already been able to transplant some to other areas.

It's a good thing they thrive in the swamp.

It's so tropical and bright and pretty! 

Yes, I know, I need to weed.

Neat plant life.

I even love weeds,
especially when they're purple.

Wanna ride?

In case you couldn't find them,
here's your cheat sheet.

On Another Note: 
I have created a Zazzle store to raise money for Dusty, 

Shelbie's boyfriend who has t-cell lymphoma.

If you would like to order something, the link is below!  

ALL proceeds will go to Dusty's family.
