And Then There was Rain!!

Yes, we got rain!  It was wonderful.
Parts of Austin got hail, but I think just about everyone got rain.
Today it is supposed to be a high of 60 and then slowly start creeping back up.
Spring has definitely sprung!

The China Snow Trees are solid white full of blooms.
Everything is so happy and showing off as if screaming- Look at me!!  Look at me!!
Then you have little Agaves trying to compete doing all they can do to show off next to the blooms- I love these little Squid Agaves- they look perfect in pots with little spillers.

Going to make one of those up today in a little pot.  
Just trying to decide which spiller to use!

  7. That rain was fabulous and oh so welcome! Spring is really kicking in to high gear! What's the botanical name of the China snow tree? I'd like to read more about it. It's very pretty.
