BYGONE FLOWERS OF TROPICAL TEXANA

Last night I was trying to find a particular photo and in the process I went through hundreds of old garden pictures from this tropical garden. It's hard to imagine that I used to grow these plants and I can't really say why they're not here anymore. A freeze here, a heatwave there, a hurricane, a drought, and so it goes.
