Happy GBBD May 2013!

vivero growers nursery
 Happy GBBD to everyone!!!!
brugmansia
 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!!
white salvia leucantha
 The white Leucantha are blooming away- always have been and always will be a favorite.
bulbine
 The bees are all over the Bulbine!!!
palo verde desert museum
 The Palo Verde 'Desert Museum' is blooming away.  I can't believe how much this tree has grown in the past year!!!
red passion vine
 The red Passion Vines are blooming- love them as all the Passion Vines but something about a red one.... just love it!
peanut cactus
 The little Peanut Cactus- love this guy- such big blooms for such a little cactus.
cholla bloom
 The Chollas are blooming like mad.  Pretty purple.
bat face cuphea
 The Bat Face Cuphea- interesting little blooms- they look more like little pig faces to me but intriguing nonetheless.
goldenball lead tree
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!

In Bloom!!

 The Goldenball Lead Trees are in bloom!!!!!!
 The 'Frazzle Dazzle' Dykia's are in bloom!!!! 
And last but not least, the Pineapple Guavas are in bloom!!!

All are things I have been waiting to see!!!  There are several I am still watching- the Bird of Paradise, Mexican Bird of Paradise- which I think is about to burst any day now- and a few others are coming out.  The Pomegranate 'Wonderful' showed some color yesterday but I am going to give it another day I think to finish so it can completely show off and will post that along with the Mexican Olive; which is in bloom as well but I have yet to be able to capture a good photo of.  The Twisted Leaf Yuccas are about ready to open as well, we have two kinds of them, green and a more silver/blue one.  Michael isn't here right now to tell me the official names but when I post them I will have them.  =)  The front garden is almost ready for it's photo op, a few more days I think- the Ligularia are slow to rise but just about there- everything else though is happy and full and looking great.  Will post soon.  Hope you enjoy today's photos!!
