Spring is finally beginning to show itself after what has been a much colder winter in east central Texas this year. We have been much more fortunate receiving rainfall than many other areas of the state, but we have also had much more freezing temps. Spring has been slower to show it`s signs, but hopefully the moisture will create quite a show as the temps warm. Here are a few snaps from a chilly walk around the place this morning.
Verbena and Daylilly
Trailing Vinca and Mealy Blue Sage
Gayfeather ,peeking out.
Bluebonnet in the prairie patch
Louisiana Artemisia
Cacti from the Big Bend(they survived!)
Stonecrop Sedum
Inland Sea Oats, so good to see that the plants I transplanted last fall are going to come out strong.
You have a lot going on there.
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of new growth here, too. Some has been bitten back, by these freezes we've had lately. Hopefully not REAL damage.
I did see a Mealy Blue Sage with bloom buds, yesterday.
Spring is just around the corner.
I`m ready to dig !
DeleteIt is nice to see those signs of spring, isn't it? We're actually several weeks ahead of you here in the southeast corner of the state where winter has been exceptionally mild, but even after a mild winter, the coming of spring is always welcome.
