Soggy Day




The date palm I planted from a seed 2 years ago is still going strong.

Poppies under the bench


First rose bud of the year.


Bluebonnets and WEEDS.  Hard to tell them apart.


Everything is so green in this soppy, wonderful wet weather we are having.


Big fireant pile almost covering this small boxwood.


Long view of the perennial bed.  Lots of larkspur, poppies, four-nerve daisy, verbena, and weeds of course.


Mountain Laurel trees are loaded with blooms.  So pretty.

Another view of this Mountain Laurel


Primrose Jasmine is blooming.


The big darker green mounds are clover.    They are overtaking the bluebonnets.

Voila!
