GBBD March 2020

Garden Blogger Bloom Day 

Please visit May Dreams Gardens for more blogger blooms. Only a few blooms are active today. We had a nice rain last night so some of the blooms have a nice wet effect. 

Linum grandiflorum


This scarlet flax was an accidental planting. This came from a mislabeled Texas native wildflower seed packet given away free at a work event. The intended label was Texas friendly wildflowers. The scarlet flax a so far a prolific bloom. 


Lupinus texensis (blue)
Lupinus texensis (red)


Of course Texas favorite flower the bluebonnets. I have a few colorways of this beauty from light blue to this deep red. 



This was a pass-along plant from the previous gardeners. I still have not positively identified this sage type plant.  


Blush Noisette
Blush Noisette is one of two pass-along roses left from previous gardeners. Last summer's weather wreaked havoc on some of the more temperamental roses. This beauty grows under two trees and only lost a few branches.


pyrus calleryana

Last night's rain dislodged most of the Ornamental Pear trees blooms off. This tree is a bee magnet keeping them up high and busy for a few weeks.


Description

Helianthus 
This sunflower is working on a flower. I have been watching it for weeks. It is growing in the middle of the lawn a leftover from a bird feeder. 

Anemone Anemone
This wildflower self-seeded it's into the yard. I am working to preserve it and propagate it. The flowers can be a variety of colors but it is predominately white in my yard. 


An accidental picture gives a true and accurate rendering of my weed garden. It is a work in progress. Bless my patient and supportive neighbors.
