Thanks for complimenting my cactus.
Here is a shot of my poppies from this morning.View attachment 241084

Delightful color! I love poppies; unfortunately, so do the bunnies in my yard.

I like the color as well. This is my second year with them and these were grown from the seed I collected last year.

I don't have any gorgeous cactus blooms to show off but I'll post some pics of what's blooming in my flowerbeds today, including my first ever nasturtium flower!
There has been a steady breeze so some of the flowers I had to hold still.

Here’s a quick shot of our Hardy Banana trees coming up for another Summer. They spend all Winter in the garage hibernating, but once Spring arrives, they are ready to shoot up leaves.

Wow. It is like walking through a botanical garden. Stunning. I would love to see a pic with it as a whole. (Says me cheekily)

Yours look so healthy and beautiful.

Okay I thought I would stick my two pennies in and post a pic of the aloe flowers blooming now. This is actually one of the things that I enjoy about winter.

Sure! It will have to be multiple pics though since it wraps around 2 sides of the house.

Hardy bannana!? Man I wanna grow those. My buddy says he's bring me some soon.. ugh do they freeze down to the ground every year?

Edit.. duh they go in the garage

 

[Bambam1989]

Here ya go Carol. Some pics of my flower garden.
The property was originally a plant nursery and this was the "display garden" but the previous owner let the gardens go. I've slowly been getting them under control. Darn aphids have done a number on my roses. I wish I had pics of when I first got the place. There is still so much that needs to be done...

To bad it's so close to the road. I wanna be a hermit...

Heck, I live on a very busy street - speed limit 65mph - and I'm a hermit! I put up a 6' privacy fence around my property and a gate across the driveway, and I live here happily by myself with no visitors and no salespeople knocking at my door (they can't get to my door due to the gate).
