We Have a Name.....

vivero growers nursery

Well we have a name.  Cooper.  He is just the cutest thing ever.
He loves going to the nursery but he doesn't last long.  He poops out and hangs out in his kennel in the a/c.  Can't say I blame him this week....  Ha.  He's only putting in a half day right now, before long we will have him up there full time and putting him to work!

white cloud texas sage Leucophyllum frutescens

The Texas Sage 'White Cloud' are blooming like mad.  
I love the more traditional ones with the green and gray foliage and the purple/lavender flowers but these with the white flowers are just stunning to me.  I guess I prefer them since they are different.  Just like the white skullcap, I love the pink and the purple but the white are just prettier.  Come to think of it, I prefer the White Plumbago as well!   White flowers aren't my "favorite" by any means, I am partial to the reds and blues actually but I guess cause they are different.

lynn's legacy texas sage cenizo

The 'Lynn's Legacy' Texas Sage is another one blooming like crazy right now.  It stays a little smaller overall, about 5' x 5'.  I just like the Sages I know due to the fact they are evergreen and bloom.  Good combo in my opinion.  These are light green leaves with the lavender blooms.

mexican olive cordia

The Mexican Olives are absolutely stunning right now.  They are full of blooms and I do have to admit if not my favorite, one of my favorite trees.

madame galen trumpet vine

The 'Madame Galen' Trumpet Vines are also full of blooms.  People either love or hate these- they definitely need the right spot but they are gorgeous vines with beautiful blooms- I prefer this variety, the blooms are larger.  

argentine saguaro

Our Argentine Saguaro is putting on an arm- very exciting.  He stands about 8 feet tall right now.  Can't wait for the arm!!!!
Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!!
