Not So Wordless Wednesday: Duranta in Bloom

One of our favorite small trees around our deck is this Duranta.  It attracts butterflies, humming birds and bees.  We both love its delicate purple outlined flowers that bloom for 9-10 month annually.  We have two hummingbirds that show up regularly to sip on the nectar the flowers exude. We enjoy sitting on our deck lounges watching them!

Happy Wednesday!

Good morning, Alexandra and Ron - I wasn't previously familiar with this plant's name...learning a lot so far today.   Another grateful moment.

Lottie Kendall Thank you for your comment.  We have to trim it often as it keeps growing and growing obscuring our hibiscus. We have concluded they are in competition...

I think that somewhere along the years we captured a photo of a Monarch butterfly sitting on one of the flowers of this tree.  What a lovely contrast they made!

Pretty little blossoms, Alexandra.  I don't believe I've ever seen Duranta up close and personal.

Hi Ron and Alexandra- I'm not familiar with this flower but Larry and I are enjoying all of the hummingbirds we've seen in our back yard. We have two small feeders at the windows and a larger one in the yard and watch them while having our morning coffee outside.

Morning Alexandra.

Our hummingbirds are starting to leave for the year.   While it is still hot here the flowers are dying as cooler temps are starting to hit us next week

I love it when hummingbirds come by and in Jupiter at this time of the year there is an abundance of small yellow butterflies.
