Spring is Near

Spring is near here in Austin, Tx.  We just finished a little run of freezing weather which was preceded by 78 degree days.  Texas weather.  Nothing like it.  I for one am happy it is over- we might have a little snap in the mid 30's but nothing like we just had.  It registered 21 at the nursery- that's cold for us.  I know our customers and friends from up north laugh at that, but for us, that is really cold.  Especially when we were enjoying such amazing weather days before.  

Posting a few photos I have taken the last few weeks- I admittedly have been bad about posting here and for that I apologize.  I am going to try to be better.  I have been posting on Instagram almost daily - it is just so easy.  @viverogrowers if you do Instagram.

March!?!?!

I have to keep checking the calendar- March?  It is March?

Where does the time go?  I am happy though as it means spring is almost here!!!  I for one am ready.

It is amazing how things have changed in the past week- things are blooming, butterflies are flying around, bees are buzzing around, "sticks" have come to life.  Spring is such an amazing time with all the new growth and awakening!!!

 The citrus are loaded with blooms and the fragrance is intoxicating. 

 The peaches are blooming away as are the plums.

 The 'Galaxy' Magnolia blooms are beautiful and incredibly fragrant.  This was a new plant for me, it was a special order,  I loved watching and enjoying the blooms it while it was with us.  

 The Dwarf Bottlebrush are always a favorite- the blooms are so vibrant!!!

 The Lavender.... who doesn't love Lavender???????

Finally a bloom of the 'Galaxy' bloom opened- the bees were all over it- it was wonderful!!!

Hope you enjoyed the blooms!!
