Christi, your wisteria and roses are gorgeous! All I have in bloom right now is the Texas mountain laurel which is as tall as the first story of our house. It has been a magnet for butterflies, bees, and hummingbird moths the last week or so. (I had never seen a hummingbird moth before and was sure I had found some little creature from outer space.) My irises are growing like crazy and should start blooming in a couple of weeks, and the lilies are popping up. The big mesquite trees are beginning to leaf out here, and that's supposed to be a sure sign that frost is past. I hope so!
