Fall in Austin

So, according to the calendar fall begins in Austin tomorrow.  

We shall see if the weather falls in line with that.  

For now- here are some things that are showing off - hope you enjoy!!

 'Moy Grande' Hibiscus

 Evergreen Wisteria

 Butterfly and Tropical Milkweed

 Ajuga bloom

Kalanchoe babies

 Front bed- things are blooming away!!

Butterfly Vine - love these- after they bloom they have little seed pods that look like butterflies. Happy fall to everyone- hopefully you are seeing lots of fall color in your area!  Can't wait to pop around to different blogs and go "sight seeing".  

Denver Botanic Gardens

 Last week we visited the Denver Botanic Gardens.  It was beautiful!!!  They have incorporated sculpture throughout the gardens - what a wonderful place.

 We walked around and were (or at least I was) surprised at how many of the plants we plant in Texas with our heat are thriving there in Colorado of all places.  Who knew??? Not me!

 Yucca Rostrata in bloom.

 Red Yuccas in bloom.

 Smoke Tree in bloom. 

 They had several water features- all equally stunning.

I took a lot of photos so I thought I would split it up into two or three posts as to not bore or overwhelm.  Hope you enjoy.  If you ever get a chance, it is well worth your time.
