February GBBD 2017

Happy February GBBD 2017!  I say it all the time but where does the time go?

The weather here has been just plain crazy.  Hot, cold, freezing, meeting all kinds of records for coldest then hottest days of the year on record- just typical Texas weather.... 

The Aloe marlothii is blooming which to me is always a magnificent bloom spike. 

 The echeveria are enjoying the cooler temperatures and showing off all their colors.

 The Agave 'Blue Glow' is using the sunshine to show off it's beautiful edges.

   The succulents have been blooming away which is always fun to watch.  

  Things are blooming which is nice cause it gives the bees and butterflies things to visit. 

Hope you have a wonderful Garden Blogger Bloom Day- make sure and visit May Dreams Gardens which has links to gardens all over!

Spring Has Sprung!!

Happy GBBD!!!

Spring has sprung here in Austin.  Everything is blooming and so pretty- hard to decide what to ooh and aah over!   The above photo is a little Kalanchoe that is completely striking with it's array of blooms!  Hope you are enjoying GBBD- thank you to May Dreams Gardens for hosting.  If you have not, go to her site and you will find links to visit all the amazing gardens all over!!

 The Graptoveria 'Ghost Plant' never disappoints.  

 The bloom spike on the Aloe marlothii is massive and shooting up towards the sky. 

 The Potato Vine is blooming away.

 The citrus- oh my gosh the citrus.  If I could just make this photo scratch and sniff.... They are all in full bloom and the fragrance is intoxicating!

 The Saguaro is showing off as usual.  He doesn't have to do much to impress.  

 The Gopher Plants are blooming away. 

 The Carolina Jessamine are in full bloom and stunning!

 And last but not least is the 'Helen Borcher' Flowering Peach- as a fan of pink I adore this particular bloom and the tree as a whole is incredible and in full bloom. 

Hope everyone is having a great GBBD!
