My name is Amy A. Zipperer, but my friends call me Lexi. I am native to Fort Myers although I have lived overseas in Quito, Ecuador for 8 years of my life. Now, I am 23 years old living in Lehigh Acres, FL with my boyfriend Stan, 27, and our son Isaiah, 10 months. We are expecting the newest addition to our family December 11, 2010.
Lehigh Acres is a small town in a rural area. Walking around my neighborhood I noticed that the vegetation mainly consists of: pine trees, palmetto bushes and vines that have over grown over everything. I found some cactus too!! I was eager to find some color amongst all the foliage, and finally came across a beautiful plant that had leaves with orange tips that resembled flowers.
It is obvious that my neighborhood is not well maintained or watered on regular bases. It is clear that the only plants that would be able to live out here are the ones that are able to survive without water for long periods of time. My neighborhood didn’t consist of much color or of anything exotic but no matter where you go you can always find beauty in nature.
