A Late GBBD Post!

Happy late GBBD April 2016!  

Hard to believe it is already April.  We have had a crazy spring- early, incredible weather, and as of late lots and lots of rain.  Here are some photos of what has been blooming as of late!  Hope you enjoy!

The cactus blooms never disappoint. 

 The Aloes are blooming away

Who doesn't love Iris blooms??

The Kalanchoe's are all blooming like crazy.

The Kniphofia's are such a cool bloom!!

 

Not a bloom but I thought it was a neat photo.

The Pineapple Guava are blooming away.

The butterflies are all over the Lantana!!

Another cactus bloom- hard to show the scale here- they are MASSIVE.

Just saying hi!!

And last but not least.... my latest hummingbird magnet bloom!!

Thank you to May Dreams Gardens for hosting GBBD 2016!  Visit her blog to get a chance to see beautiful blooms all over!!

I'm So Excited!!!

The hummingbirds are here!  The hummingbirds are here!

This is the best shot I got today of them but they are here- working the Aloes and the 'Wendy's Wish' Salvia.  I have not gotten a clear shot of them there but I did manage to get this one of one perched on the Sycamore tree.  I am so excited!!!

This would be one of the Aloe blooms they are hovering over yet do you see the hummingbird in the photo- I know… I couldn't get him.

But I am not giving up.

 Here are a few other things that I think look pretty right now but all I seem to be focused on is, well, that the hummingbirds are here!!!!!!  The little Salvia is starting to bloom. 

 The Acanthus Mollis are starting to bloom. 

And last but not least the Maples are vibrant! 

 That's all for now as see, I have a hummingbird to "catch"!

Could The Weather Be A Little Crazier???

If you don't like the weather, stick around, it will change….

It has been 24 degrees and 79 degrees all in a 5 day span.  Crazy?  Nah, just Texas.

 We have had a couple of really pretty days the last few weeks.

 This past weekend for example was BEAUTIFUL.  Then there was today….. not so much….

 So we just enjoy the pretty days and wait for the heat to return, or at least I do.

 The succulents are rockin' and rollin' in the succulent house blooming like mad.  When the cold brings me down, I just go walk in there and look at all the blooms and smile.

It won't be long and we will all be wondering when we get relief from the heat, but personally, I love the 100 degree days.  Call me crazy but I do.
