an Easter has never meant more and a spring has never been needed so badly. the garden has obviously found her party shoes under her bed.
i am so in lurve with this pyracantha which is espaliered on the back of my back steps. she is today's covergirl for my garden and the roses are probably thinking 'bitch, watch yourself.'

loropetalum and her bestie, salvia
i sowed these bluebonnet seeds in november and am so in love with these lupines.

granny smith apple blossoms

the incense passiflora has not come back yet. lamarque will be covering the coop within a year.

mrs. b.r. cant
(clearly, a could)
my hedge of mrs. b.r. cant have been popping for a while and the other roses are showing themselves, too. the musk bubble bath is just about to burst.
after the harsh winter, i sadly said goodbye to my bougainvilleas, but gladly said hello to them again friday morning. new growth is coming from the roots, even though the canes were destroyed by the freezes.
rebirth. how apropos for this weekend.

And a beautiful covergirl, she is. With all the snow/rain we've had this winter, well...the Spring flowers are beyond gorgeous!!
Happy Easter, Happy Spring!
I thought I'd left a comment earlier... but I'll just leave another :-)
So good to see your garden thriving along with you. That Lamarque is calling my name. I have Sombreuil but not in a sunny enough spot, poor thing.
And so the love affair with Abe begins...again...
Your garden is surely the breath of fresh air for your neighborhood. I was just thinking how lucky your street is. :)

Your garden is amazing!!! We're not quite there, yet, it'll be a couple of weeks, I think before the roses flush -- but we're getting there. What a blessing spring is this year!
