It's a gorgeous GBBD here in Austin, a balmy 67 right now but the temp is rising. We spent the morning putting Dromgoole's Rose Soil in our new rose beds that we laid out for Valentines Day.
I've got quite a few things blooming, nothing shocking or exciting...some things have bloomed all winter and thanks to Carol at May Dreams Gardens I'm realizing this for the first time!
Carol dreamed up this log-roll some time ago and garden bloggers from around the globe participate monthly on the 15th. Hop around and see what's blooming in your neck of the woods!
The bees were buzzing on this Upright Rosemary.
Purple Lantana has bloomed all winter...
My first Old Blush bloom of the season!
Unlike the upright, this prostrate Rosemary has bloomed all winter!
Salvia Greggii.
French Lavender, also a winter bloomer.
White Lantana
This Oxalis was blooming yesterday, but looked sleepy this morning.
Fringe flower
Some of my Arugala is sending up flowers, I think they are just so sweet:)
I know this isn't a bloom, but I was so excited to see the buds pop on my new Wonderful Pomegranate among the greens.
This is a houseplant, but I know the northerners count them, so I did:)
Dianthus, for some reason my little camera has a hard time with the bright reds and oranges...they always turn out fuzzy...anyone else have this problem?
Last months Loquat blooms, this months baby fruit:)
Little Kumquat buds
Carolina Jessamine blooming on the arbor, I just love the intensity of these flowers when most of the yard is dry and bare sticks...
Sweet little Four Nerve Daisy...they bloom whenever it rains, or I hit 'em with the hose. That's it for me here in Austin! I'm heading out to A&M for two days of plant talk so I gotta hit the road! Will check in on my favorite bloggers when I get back!
Happy Gardening!
