Here is the side of the house wildscape where I was building small rounded retaining walls to hold the dirt in around the trees:
I clipped back all the perennials and grasses in the front also and now the flower bed looks naked:
By the time I was done with all of that, it was dark outside and I was tired and didn't feel like posting. I did take pictures yesterday though in preparation for bloom day. So here they are, one day late:
Abutilon:
Agarito:
A little closer:
Coral Honeysuckle:
The Meyer Lemon blossoms are filling the entryway with a divine scent:
Texas Scarlet Quince:
Southern Grape Hyacinth:
Leucojum or Summer Snowflake:
And a garden friend that I always have to shoo away from the hose spigot when I want to turn it off:

You do have some blooms there! I clipped my garden down, too...but there still is nothing 'flowering'! (I did 'indoor' plants). I love that
Quince. Nothing like that grows around here (I don't 'think'--never have I seen one, anyway).
Your beds are looking great. Love the rocks for the retaining wall. I like that snowdrop? flower, the white one with the green dots.
Jan,
Quince are pretty aren't they? That particular one seduced me at the nursery and I was forced to buy it. ;)
Darla,
Thanks. Yep, that's a snowflake. Summer Snowflake. I don't know why they call it that, because it blooms in early spring for me.
