MY GARDEN- JACARANDA

 Well looks like the blogging bug has bit me ! Since it is such an easy way to keep a journal on anything even with photos it is the way to go. I have tried to

maintain garden journals and I am misplacing them always.

Now that the garden is filled with all kinds of flowers it would be ideal to start a gardening blog and keep track of all things green and otherwise !

When I looked out this morning the morning sunlight cast a beautiful hue of green in the backyard.

The sky was overcast and the thought of working outside was very enticing. As I started weeding the garden beds in the front I had an exotic visitor. The absolutely enchanting humming bird paid a visit to the blooming Buddleia...

The front atrium garden is abloom with purple blooms of Butterfly bush, orange tubular blooms of Cigar plant, yellow and orange blooms of Canna lilies, red blooms of  Double Knock out roses. Enough nectar to welcome all the butterflies and humming birds.

The mix of purple,orange and red was looking beautiful in an odd combination.

I added Amaryllis bulbs I have received in the mail to this part of the garden. I had ordered One bulb of Papilio butterfly, one bulb of Rembrandt Van Rijn and one of ' Nymph from Royal colors.com
Rembrandt Van Rijn is a large flowering Amaryllis with beautiful iridescent colors. Papilio butterfly has this burgundy throat and Nymph is a double flowering Amaryllis.

Sine the bulbs have done well in my garden I hope to see them multiply and reward me with gorgeous blooms.

Knock out finished the initial round of blooms and getting ready for the next round. Agapanthus is sending long stalks of periwinkle blooms. Dianthus are fading away. Celosia is not doing well.

Mimosa is flowering well and the deep pink blooms are very pretty.

Magnolia is blooming but the leaves have black spot. I bought some soil amendment for sick trees yesterday at Southwest fertilizers.

All three varieties of figs Banana fig, Celeste and brown turkey are producing fruits already.

Amaryllis bulbs have finished blooming. I pulled out snapdragons and planted salmon colored Impatiens in the back. The Caladium bulbs I got from Sams have all come up.

Curry leaf plant is sending new shoots. We have not planted the Barbie pink Gauva and Strawberry guavas. Even the Champa Alba needs a home. Mondo orange got planted near the driveway.

I will take some photos of the garden and post them on my web. This is Rembrandt Van rjin Amaryllis.
