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!

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.
