Our tabebuia is blooming. I was hoping for a better show than this. It didn't bloom last year because we had a rather deep freeze that winter while it still had its leaves. The leaves all turned black and fell off much earlier than they're supposed to. That was too much of a shock to the tree. I thought that maybe because there were no flowers last year that it would make up for it by having a lot more than normal. It's been blooming for a while but has only recently lost its leaves. (The colors are a little exaggerated. I fiddled a bit with the "gamma" and the saturation.)

Back in early March I gave you an update on our rose garden. Well, here's another one. A couple of the new roses have started blooming after just six or seven weeks in the ground. I guess they are thrilled to be here.
Here's Julia Child:

And here's the 4th of July (it's a climber):

Another one of the new ones has some buds and has become quite bushy. These roses started out as a couple of six or seven inch stems.
I still need to get an irrigation system installed. It gets a little old standing out there with hoses.
Instead of an irrigation system why don't you get some artsy fountains?
ReplyDeleteI don't know why you're apologizing for the pictures of beautiful flowers. I love them!
