On March 23, Bob cut the 10 foot tall powderpuff bush top photo above, to the size you see in bottom photo. It has to be cut back each year or it would cover the whole back yard.

In Florida we have the greenhouse effect year-round and plants grow like crazy even in a drought.
No measurable rain in 8 months, so Easter Sunday I did a rain dance. 
AND
WE GOT A HALF INCH OF RAIN ON EASTER SUNDAY

| I do not think it matters that the weather guy said 100% chance of rain on Easter Sunday, Do you? we did get rain but only 1/2 inch, we are happy over what we got. |

That's impressive growth during a drought. I'm sure your rain dance helped, and even though it didn't rain much, every little bit helps. ❤️
That’s amazing.
yes, that's a little like magic... this yer things grow fast... even the weed will grow like... weed...
Hi Sandra,:=)
Thanks again for the link and great photos. I hope my bougainvillea grows back, but I don't expect it will grow as fast as your Power Puff bush, that is phenomenal growth.
Wow, that's amazing how fast that grew. Hooray for rain.
...and fort Lauderdale got flooding rains!!
Hello,
It is amazing how fast the plant grows, they are pretty blooms.
We could use some rain here, it has been very dry.
Take care, have a happy day!
Judging by what I saw on TV the rain you called for went mainly to Fort Lauderdale where the airport was flooded. When you dance, the rain gods really pay sttention!
That is sure quick growth! Glad you got some rain but maybe you should do another rain dance for more.
I know FL needs rain but OMDs Ft Lauderdale wow I'm so sorry. Happy you got your rain. It is raining so hard here this morning the duct work was postponed til Monday
Hugs Cecilia
Wow, that's amazing growth in such a short amount of time.
I guess we are finally over our rain for this season. Wish we could have given you some of ours.
Love your Rain Dance..well done..
Sue
Wow, it does grow quickly. Mark recently cute down a lot of our bushes that just get too big during the summer. (Not as big as the bush Bob cut back)
That is incredible growth in such a short time.
I love you in your blue & yellow feathers! The bush is beautiful even without the blooms! Maybe it will rain if you kiss this cute frog...
I definitely think it was your rain dance that brought you some rain! LOL
Tenacious critters, aren't they?
I'd have loved to see you doing that rain dance; just don't let those folks in Fort Lauderdale know you're responsible. (hahaha)
Rain dances are always good. Here in CA we rec'd abundance of rain, far more than ever before. This spring there will be a burst of vegetation, some good and some not. But, this means that we will be on wildfire watch.
