My Pride of Barbados is doing very well and putting on a show now. Pride of Barbados ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) Pride of Barbados ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) A few things were starting to flower around the family home, but will wait until next week to get photos once they are in full bloom. But while sweeping/mopping the porch, I found a nice surprise. Didn't realize there was a message on the back of the chair planter my brother gave me. chair back ( photo / image / picture from cherylad's Garden ) And, I don't believe I've introduced you all to my little friend "Treacle". I got him from a guy on the side of the road outside of Albuquerque about 15 years ago. He carved him with a chain saw! Wish he would have smiled for this portrait though!

OO Cheryl your Pride of Barbados is really something!! I must get some orange flowers for my garden as they are so beautiful. Treacle was a great find wasn't he? Why do people throw lovely things like him out for the rubbish? What a nice surprise to get with your chair - just the right sentiments for a gardener too. :-D
Eileen... Treacle wasn't thrown away. The guy was making and selling them on the side of the road. I got one for some friends of mine as a wedding gift... but just had to go back and get one for myself!
Kay... My sis-in-law gave me seeds for the Pride a couple of years ago. I just love the color and seems to be pretty hardy. I hope to collect some seeds this year (I didn't get any last year.)
Your Pride of Barbados is amazing. I would love to have one of those in my garden. I really like Treacle too. :-D
