Here is kind of a mixed bag of things I have been taking pictures of lately- hope you enjoy!
The above is a bloom spike from one of the agaves I have in a display pot- though I love the bloom it makes me sad cause I know it is the end of the road for the little guy. I might pull him out and redo the pot and just pop him in the ground. Who knows. I can't decide.
The Japanese Maples are so dainty- I just love them. Such a pretty color and nice contrast I think.
These little guys have not disappointed. The Flowering Quince are full of flowers and the bees are very excited I might add.
I never ever tire of the Spanish Lavender. Of all the Lavender, it is and probably always will be my favorite. I love the rich purple and the lavender together.
And last but not least the Gopher Plant. They are covered in blooms and covered in bees. I am just happy the bees are hard at work and that we have plenty of blooms for them.
Just a little bit of this and that. Hope you enjoy!
It is somewhat sad to see the agaves go into bloom but they are spectacular especially the ones which make the candelabra. Did you suffer a lot of damage. I lost a lot of blooms-Lady Banks, C Jessamine etc.
ReplyDeleteI know- it is mixed emotions for sure when they bloom. Oh my gosh- so over the back and forth of the cold hot cold hot cold hot. Enough already! So sorry on your blooms!!!! So frustrating.
ReplyDeleteLove that Flowering Quince! Is it a double bloom? We just planted a Japanese Maple tree. I agree, they are so dainty:)
ReplyDeleteIt is- and it is wonderful!!! You will love the Maple- they are gorgeous.
DeleteThe flowering gopher plant looks great! I'm so glad I added this to my garden last year. It's stealing the show right now and really held up in that last freeze.
ReplyDeleteI know- they are tough little guys. So over this weather- it is so windy today but hopefully it will calm down and spring will spring!
DeleteIt all goes together well due to the bright colors. Thanks for sharing your blooms on this wintery day in Maine.
ReplyDeleteYou can't beat your landscape photos though there in Maine- breathtaking.
