Happy March GBBD!

It's March and spring is almost here.  Things are blooming like crazy around here and it is wonderful. 

 The Crossvine are blooming away...

 the Abutilon....

 the Purple Plums....

 the Gopher Plants...

 the Pedlianthus, this one is a little more rare than your typical one, as noted most predominatly by the blooms.  Aside from the blooms the plants themselves are very similar but this one is more tropical/cold sensitive and the blooms are different.  I love it!

 The Acanthus are getting ready to bloom- such a unique bloom stalk. 

 The Globe Mallow are blooming away, tried and true favorite of mine.

And last but not least, the Salvia are a big hit this week with bees, butterflies and the Hummingbird Months alike.  Hope everyone enjoyed the photos.  Please visit May Dreams Gardens to see what is blooming in different gardens from all over!!  Thanks for hosting!

Happy Easter!

I felt it appropriate to post a lily on "Easter Eve".  

I love the Daylilies- I have them along one side of the walkway leading to the office.  This is the Daylily Aztec Gold.

The Palo Verde 'Desert Museum' is one of my all time favorites.  Like the name, palo verde, they are like green sticks and they bloom a yellow flower and I absolutely love them.  I planted one near the gate and it is in full bloom and looks stunning in my opinion.

  The Pedlianthus are in bloom- this one I have been anticipating since we got this in.  It is a really different unique looking plant and the fact it blooms only makes it more intriguing to me.  Michael says it is not technically a bloom but to me it looks like a bloom.

And last but not least is the Mexican Flame Vine.  These just went into bloom as well.  I have a few of these in the garden out front and those particular ones are not in bloom yet, but these are so I posted them.  I think they are a pretty flower- a new vine for me.
