Well, after a week hiatus on the computer, this morning is prooving why I stayed away...putter putter, picture picture dawdle dawdle...get nothing done..hmmmm...Been working on the deck..what a job..750 square feet, and I'm having to dig out the dirt between all the boards amidst a high pressure wash.
Anyway...Brugs and other bright bloomers are screaming wake up! Thought I'd share
Morning light seems to be great for pictures..sun was hitting just right.
like a flower meteor shower
I grew this one from seed when I first started gardening..."Golden Queen"
close up
The flowers are pretty large
Bee's were loving them...and fighting over them.
Pink ones too...
nother pink
I was noticing the creamy white ones...(and someone can catch me up on brug 101) have 7 lines in them, while others have 6, or rather 7 points..
And in other blooms...some very blue...I'm trying to remember what this one is..
Some very vivid pink.....mini azaleas
Cestrum
still blooming...I have to recommend this shrub...it's been going since november
clerodendrum Wallichii
clerodendrum salehangii...going to seed
Black eyed susan vine..does it EVER stop blooming?
look like some kind of candy? Candy corn vine
This ginger missed the "it's winter time" notice
Yes, it stops blooming if it lives in DeSoto, Texas. Just beautiful, Randy. Makes me a little bit envious. But if anyone deserves it , you do.
closer shot at the purple salehangii seeds...I spell it different every time
Beaumontia Grandiflora in front is almost spooky snake looking ---this one of the vine tops
Bromeliad...
Randy you have the best plants and flowers. If there is ever a round up in Texas for the rest of to join I sure hope it would involve a tour of your place.
new shoots on the Hawaiin Wood Rose...guess no blooms this year...
another bromeliad
and....towards the pond..and miles of deck for me to clean still.......
got to get back to that oh so fun job..wooo hooo
My goodness,you have a flowering paradise in your backyard!!!
Great pics!
Sunny and 50* here,can hardly believe it!!!
Great pics!!
That Black eyed susan vine reminds me also of my favorite called "orange clock vine" they are related. It is sensational. Like the Black eye just booms to infinity. If you see an orange clock do not hesitate! Get it.
Randy...GREAT photos...I would love to paint that first one!!!
Can you save seeds of that Clero for me?????
C
Thanks, Good lighting without the leaves on the canopy trees
I will save you some seeds, but that is the plant I'm sending you.
OH>>>>>>>be still my heart!!! Thanks.
Just gorgeous!
How can you can ANY work done with all those lovelies to look at?
Deck, schmeck, let's go back into the Brug Forest!
Gret pics rj!!
.....sigh...if I can't have a garden like RJ's or Tropicman's....these photos will do!
I would love to have a lush garden and very little grass here in the country but I have been forbidden to do that. lol. Grass lovers rule in this household.
Pepper, we wanna plant every square inch in our place so we don't have to mow!!!!!!
My dad loves to mow so I can't do that. But I have quite a few garden spots and I will be able to make 2 more once we get the bricks and dirt. One is under a maple and the other under a Walnut since the grass won't really grow there. So I will get to play around in those. :~)
Your garden is just alive with color Randy! Beautiful! Thanks for posting.
Aloha
Thanks to Mother nature!
I'm working on shrinking my front yard. Step 2 this spring, but have to really plot on the landscaping
That one is easy. Dig a big hole and make it a pond. LOL. A coworker of mine did that at her place. No front yard due to pond but has lots of land in the back.
