John and Norm's
John and Norm moved to Florida from New York state several years ago.  Their garden in New York was spectacular - I've seen the photos - and certainly something for them to be very proud of.  Since moving into their new home here in Florida, they faced the challenge of how to plan a year round garden.  They have planted their picturesque yard, which overlooks a pond, with a great array of plants.  I think they have achieved their goal of a year round garden with something always in bloom.

A wonderful bird of paradise in flight!

John and Norm have many vibrant colors of bougainvillea
growing around their home.
