Happy GBBD to everyone!!!!
Hope everyone is having a great May so far- it has been wonderful here in Austin. We have had rain off and on and the weather has been beautiful!!! Enjoying it while we can.
Posting some photos I have taken this week- I have not been to the nursery much this week, so relying on photos I took earlier while out there this past week/weekend. The above is the Brugmansia which blooms like upside down trumpets- I love them- in Houston (where I used to live) my neighbors had a HUGE one- it was stunning!!
The white Leucantha are blooming away- always have been and always will be a favorite.
The bees are all over the Bulbine!!!
The Palo Verde 'Desert Museum' is blooming away. I can't believe how much this tree has grown in the past year!!!
The red Passion Vines are blooming- love them as all the Passion Vines but something about a red one.... just love it!
The little Peanut Cactus- love this guy- such big blooms for such a little cactus.
The Chollas are blooming like mad. Pretty purple.
The Bat Face Cuphea- interesting little blooms- they look more like little pig faces to me but intriguing nonetheless.
The Goldenball Lead trees are in full bloom as well. Our neighbors tree is solid yellow. They look like little golf balls to me all over the tree. Hope everyone is having a great GBBD and be sure and visit May Dreams Gardens to check out what is blooming all over the world!
The hibiscus is stunning-white flies took all mine away a few years ago. I must try to get some Cuphea plants, yours looks lovely..
ReplyDeleteThanks- I have always liked the Cupheas. Neat blooms.
DeleteI should really try to grow a brugmansia. Not sure they would winter over well here, but I'm thinking that it would be worth a try. Lovely blooms.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Happy GBBD!
DeleteGorgeous blooms! I'm lusting over your Brugmansia. So beautiful! My neighbors had one that looked like a small tree. It was so pretty when it was in bloom.
ReplyDeleteI know- they are stunning- my neighbors one in Houston was HUGE.
DeleteCuphea is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love- right??? Happy GBBD!
DeleteWhat is it about flowers that look like little animals? So adorable. All your flowers look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Happy GBBD!
DeleteWe have had terrific weather for the past few days as well. Some would day it has been on the cool side, but it has been perfect gardening weather. You always manage to show flowers that are interesting and unusual in your posts Kacky. I like the flowers on the Goldenball Lead tree. You don't often see flowers that round. I bet your neighbour's tree looks amazing covered in yellow flower balls.
ReplyDeleteIt is a really pretty tree in person. We have been having an unusually long spring here- well, just a spring here is unusual! hahaha
DeletePeanut cactus? Is that your name or a real name. it is often so hard to identify cactus. Often they come without a label. Your blooms, as always, are stunning.
ReplyDeleteHa - my name? That is funny- no, it's a Peanut Cactus. I haven't started naming plants- maybe I should. Funny. Thanks! Hope you are enjoying this weather- it's been fabulous!
