While this has been the correct name for quite a while, it is more commonly known as Brassovola digbyana by most. |

That's just a plain old pine tree...and it's WAY too far for it to be of interest to me! I'd have to exit my magical domain to get to it  |

Not sure... you guys have your summer heat and the monsoons are not far behind. We, on the other hand, are enjoying crisp breezes, moderate temps and sunshine... well in between the rain and tornadoes! |

I always like the digbyanas with lots of red on the petals. Yours looks great!

Just curious, what kind of pine do you know? Hopefully it's a native. Looks like you have a great back yard.

They're Sand Pines...and nothing special at all
This property was LOADED with them when we bought, cleared out most of them to build the house but we left a large section out in the back as a privacy break.
Sand pine
My hubby has planted nicer trees around the property, neither one of us are crazy about the pines |
