I Don't Think I'll Ever Get Used to It


I have lived in Texas all my life (outside of a few college years) and I can just say
I don't think I will ever get used to the weather here.
The Kalanchoe blooms are all similar but all striking.  There are so many different varieties of them and I love them all!!!


Yesterday, and for the last week for that matter, we have been in the high 70's, basically 80 degrees, and not more than a week ago, we were freezing.  Only in Texas is all I can say.
The above is the Potato Vine I was trying to photograph at my house on Bloom Day that wasn't blooming- they are blooming like mad at the nursery.  (and at the house now as well).


I went out to the nursery this past weekend sadly for only about 30 minutes, but did manage to snap a few shots of things that looked pretty to me so I thought I'd share.  I felt it only right since my bloom day post was so bare......
The photo above is probably my latest favorite.  When it came in I liked the foliage of it but now that it is blooming- WOW!!!   I feel like I always say "this is my favorite" but I can't help it.  We get these new things in and I just go nuts over them.  I mean- look at that bloom!!!  How can you NOT go nuts over that???  It's a Grevillea 'Long John'.


The Pyracantha never disappoints- I love the pop of red.
More photos to come- I was short on time and therefore sadly did not get much "photo time".
Someone was feeling overlooked after the GBBD post so I thought I'd share a picture of my other little nut hanging out by the window with her new favorite pillow.


Spring is almost here- that much I know, and I for one can't wait!!
