Spring has Sprung!

The rains have arrived and today the first rain lilies are in bloom!

 A Bluejay seen through our family room window.

 The Mexican Flame vine will soon be going to seed again.

The coffee bushes are having their first flowers!

Spring may be very hot here but it's makes for beautiful blooms!

Early Morning in the Garden

Early morning is one of my favorite times in the garden. This morning I grabbed my camera instead of a coffee and wondered about.

 Salvia

 Native Pennyroyal

 Sand dune sunflower, native

 Salvia

 Blue plumbego. The native white plumgego is pictured later on.

 Jatropha

 Society garlic

 Spiderwort, native and such fun to count to the blooms each morning.

 Mexican Flame, a new one for us this year. It is very happy and climbing around the palm.

 Aloe in 'bloom'.

 Desert Rose although I think of it as "Anniversary Rose" as Ken gave it to me for our anniversary a couple years ago.

 Our native Cassias which has had some beautiful caterpillars this spring.

 Spanish Needle, native, is one of the common names for this beauty.

 Coreopsis, native

 Blanket Flower is one of the common names for this native.

 Looking through the Marlberry towards our bench and Cedar Bay tree.

 Looking forward to seeing our Strongbark grow big and strong! The coontie next to it will be a slow grower but worth the wait. Looking forward to more atalas.

 Ageratum, native.

Much of the yard is quite wild looking. Here is some russelia, the white plumbago against the screen and cassias in the background.

 Have a gorgeous day!

Pottery Art 2015

Sunday March 8th was the opening for JCC's Pottery Guild Show. As usual the preceding week was hectic as we looked at so many different styles of work by so many different artists, wondering how we would put it all together. But it came together and looked great for opening. Here are a few shots of the show.....

The show runs until May 15th and it is changing each week as work leaves the show. It is in Boca Raton, Florida at the Levis JCC.

Egyptian Geese Visit Again!

As I was watering the garden this week two Egyptian Geese flew over and landed a couple houses down. They quickly made their way along the water's edge and I ran inside to grab my camera so I catch a few shots as they made their way through our yard.
