Blooms at the Nursery

Well, I missed GBBD, sorry, so thought I'd share the blooms at the nursery as of late.  

Hope you enjoy!!  

 The Althea are blooming like crazy.

 The butterflies are everywhere- sometimes I feel like my Instagram account is a butterfly watch.

 The Cereus are always neat I think- this one has three blooms on it.  

 I love the Greveillea 'Peaches and Cream' - such an unusual bloom.

 The Palo Verde trees are always pretty to me even without blooms- I love the green bark.

 This was a first for me- two on one.  I posted this on Facebook and a customer posted one on hers as well- guess it isn't that rare but I'd never seen it!

 The Pride of Barbados equals summer in Austin to me.  Love these blooms!

 The 'Sticks of Fire' are always fun- they change colors in the winter but are equally as impressive in the summer.

And last but not least, a Tecoma, this is the 'Lydia' which is a bit more compact and softer yellow.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!  

Happy GBBD!!!!!!

Happy GBBD to everyone!!!  Thanks to May Dreams Gardens for hosting!  There is so much going on and blooming right now- it is such a fun time of year and the weather these past few days!!!!  Oh my gosh- LOVE IT.  The Peruvian Cereus never cease to amaze and wow me - this particular day I guess cause it was cloudy this weekend, it stayed open a lot longer than normal which was fine by me!

 The Black Eyed Susan has such a pretty happy bloom.

 The American Beautyberries are turning color and attracting all the birds- so fun to watch them pick at the berries. 

 The Crinum bloom has always been a favorite.  So unique

 Another sure sign fall is here in Austin, the Stick of Fire are starting to turn.

 I like how it resembles a little heart on the top of this cactus.

 The Antigonon have long been a favorite but I do have a preference for the white, though the pink is really pretty….. white…pink…white…pink… how to decide?

 These little guys are all over the Milkweed as well as are their new temporary "homes".

 I captured this shot and basically right after he jumped and I thought it was on my head- took a minute to figure out he was on a different leaf of the Agave…. little spooky….

 The Fall Aster are rockin' and rollin'.

 The Mexican Flame Vine never disappoint.

 The Pineapple Guava are LOADED with fruit.  Love it!!!!

Hope you have enjoyed shots of what is going on lately.   Hope everyone is having a great fall.
