My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Late March bloomers

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Most everyone has beautiful gardens and a real skill with taking photos. Not me! I am going to share mine anyway.

This is the Gulf Coast Penstemon that I got from JoAnn last spring swap. I almost didn't see it blooming!

This is the Amaryllis johnsonii that I shared last spring and will bring more of this swap. This small bed is just stuffed with them.

I love the Texas Gold Columbines!

I have never seen the Crinum americanum bloom so early! It's just starting to open and will fully open tonight, but I have to drive to the office tomorrow and it will be dark by the time that I get home.

The seeded Louisiana Iris that came from Black Gamecock. I get all sorts of pinks and purples from the seeds that fall into the garden. Bringing some of these to the swap.

I have no idea where this came from. I thought that it was an allium until it bloomed. Who shared this one? It is not as blue as the picture shows, more of a dark purple.

One more of the GC Penstemon and my favorite Agave

    Just beautiful! The colors of the irises are off the charts, but I love them all.
