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!

Happy March GBBD 2013!!

Happy GBBD!!
It is warming up here in Austin.  It has been in the high 70's and low to mid 80's this week.  Everything is really responding to the warmer days too- things are budded up and blooming, butterflies and bees are flying around and birds are chirping- it is wonderful!!
The Gopher Plants have been a big hit with both the bees and butterflies all week.
 The Dyckia are blooming- I love how such a spiky plant throws off such a nice dainty bloom.
The Wisteria are budded up and getting ready to bloom- I LOVE the smell of Wisteria- reminds me of when I was little; we had it growing all along the fence line by the pool.
 The Mountain Laurels are still blooming, some say grape soda, I think it smells like Purple Kool-Aid, same smell I guess, I just haven't had grape soda.
 The Japanese Maples are all leafed out and stunning.
The Mexican Sycamores are budded up and ready to leaf out.
 The Bulbine have been loaded with bees all week.
And last but not least, the Mystic Spires are starting to bloom in the front bed.  A sure sign spring is here.  Please visit May Dreams Gardens and see what is blooming all over!!
Hope you have a great GBBD!!!
