Apr. 15, 2008 - My Kind of Science

Spring! Glorious Spring!

My bottlebrush plant looks like it will finally have flowers, after three years of waiting!

The Weigela is blooming:

We'll have fresh blueberries in June:

Pooh (26) got me this for Mother's Day, a few years ago.
So I call it my JaPOOHnese Maple:

We may never get apples, but we have the scented blossoms:

And this baby crape myrtle is less than a year old:

But these petunias are my favorite:
For a few years now, they've bloomed.
They were never planted there.
They were planted in the barrel to the right.
Apparently, some fell down and decided to stay.
And since our winters are mild, they've been blooming every year since....

I just love spring!

That's my kind of science too, and I'm comforted to know that we're not the only ones who sometimes name our trees.

Oh, how I love spring too! What I could do without, however, is this fickle Georgia whether...winter one day, summer the next. Not only does it feed the colds of little ones, but it makes the whole wardrobe process a little confusing. BUT--I'll take it over the North any day!

I love those pictures of your beautiful plants. Everything is blooming here and a thin layer of pollen has covered the area. : ( But, I am glad spring is here at last.

I've always wanted a Japanesse maple. They are so pretty. I had 2 apple trees that we planted when my middle son was born but one of them was run over by him when he was little and the other was hit by a very large falling branch. Needless to say, the one hit by the branch survived but has never flowered. :( I love petuinias too. Great pictures.

So pretty! We're just starting to see the green poking through on some things. But, we've seen our crocuses already.

I was hoping for a gardening project or two this year. Still hoping.
