Plant pictures for dad.

This is the best way I could figure out how to post these for dad to see them all and I could explain with the pictures.  Our yard is a work in progress, but apparently according to our landlady and neighbors, it looks better now than it did when they lived here!!  

These are just some of our new plants,
including our new pineapple plant from the pineapple we grew already!

Dad helped us put his feature in during their visit at Christmas.
Sadly, it has been neglected because of my nausea from morning sickness.
The yard guy is working on weeding it now.
Hopefully with a bit of newspaper, we can keep the weeds down and I can keep up with it!
You can see new growth on our main plant in the middle, it has doubled it's size in leaves since we got it.

Our oleanders and boxwood bushes.
The boxwood looked like they were almost dead when they bought them (it was a discount),
but now you wouldn't even know by looking at them!

Another new plant.
These are some what of a lucky plant here in Thailand (at least that is what we understand).
We fell in love with the blooms, but they only last a day! 

Our variegated hibiscus.
They differ in size because the dogs run over them to bark at the fence.
I have tried my hardest to protect them using rocks, pots, and bricks from around the house.
Our small rose bushes next to the entrance gate, and our elephant leaf plant that we found in the backyard and replanted in the ground behind the mango trees.
