Despite the heat wave we had at the end of March in So Cal (temps of 101), gardens are recovering.
Cactus loved the heat and are blooming:
Amaryllis managed to recover and are putting on a nice show:
Roses as well, although not as gloriously as they usually bloom in April and May:
Both helpers were stuck in dog and cat jail while I was visiting with family in South Carolina and Florida
Home now.
Happy Gardening to All!!
“Amaryllis”
I have quite a number of them.
They are blooming a few at a time over about a month.
The flowers don’t last long for me here in Florida.
The midday heat is now brutal here.
My parsley and mint are doing well.
I’ve eaten most of my cherry tomatoes.
Beautiful blossoms, Bon! Thank you for sharing!
If you can believe it, today is the first day of May, and I’m wearing a thick sweatshirt. It rained again overnight, so it’s windy and chilly, besides being damp.
The plants are loving the rain, though.
Love that lavender colored rose. Nice to see you. Is that a new doggie??
Pink Peony (lovely aroma)
Allium
Coreopsis
Anna’s Pink Native Verbena
Bejeweled Rose Rhinestones Penstemon
Meadow Rue
Sedum Ternatum
Pink Bleeding Hearts
Coral bells (heuchera) - I don’t know which variety
These are the things currently blooming in my meditation garden.
As Arizonans know, May is cactus blooming time!
