Cedar Wax Wings birds arrived today and they ate all the berries.
At least 100 birds each tree
March 2012 blooms
They are very hard to picture. The fly so fast ...
In this picture you can see them flying into the fountain ... they are so cute ...
I love it each spring when all the different birds arrive. We usually get at least one or two baltimore orioles...they are my favorite

The picture was taken five minutes before the cold front moved through, after which I quickly left.
Good timing on the pics...I am sure Howard Garret would have done the same!
Great shots of the blooms hrp50. Sounds like good timing for sure. I bet a lot of those tulips lost their petals in the rain. As for loading five pics, I had problems as first also. In the blog admin says to resize your pictures if you are having problems. Plus it just takes a while for that many to load. fb it is not!
Drthor, I especially love the cedar waxwings in your fountain. They are such a communial bird.
I love Spring time in Dallas.
Peonies are getting ready for their show.
Roses everywhere ...
M.me Dupre' rose
CROSSVINE blooms are so stunning ...
Sage starting to make flowers too.
The first picture is the Sage type that I use in my cooking, the red one is just the decorative kind ...
Still some Daffodils are blooming
Strawberry flower
Violas and Pansies ...
Self seeded SNAPDRAGON
Earth kind rose "THE DUCHER"
IRIS season is starting ...
My first COLUMBINE of 2012
Stella de Oro daylily will bloom soon
LILIUM BULBS
You can see how from one bulb I got so many bulbs.
Definitely liliums do very well in my garden. I think this is Black Beauty.
Toadflax Spurred Snapdragon blooming, hiding the spent leaves of the daffodils ...
All lovely shots. My Columbine is just forming buds now....can't wait.
Still can't figure out why my pc won't do more than one pic at a time!

I have had this maple in this pot for 5 years and only repotted it once. It starts to look ratty by mid summer but now its lovely.

What is the common name of S. coccinea?
Is that last one salvia coccinea or Texas betony? My betony is in bloom, but my salvia is barely coming up yet.
TX betony, thats it - Stachys coccinea. Sorry I didn't think of salvia coccinea. Mine is growing but no blooms yet either.

That Texas betony sure is pretty, I love the color and it is blooming now here too.
One common name for Salvia coccinea is Scarlet sage, but it goes by many names;

Chery you lucky girl I love the Shooting Star and have been wanting it for a long time, how did you do it?
I bought seeds but it didn't work for me.

I love your BULBINE. Could you tell me a little bit about this plant, please?
I think I need to go check on my betony. I noticed it had spread, but I haven't seen it blooming yet!
Don Juan roses - resistant to Rose Rosette disease
White Iceberg rose
Monsier Thuiller rose
Bearded Irises ...
Snapdragon and Pansies
Josephine,
I mail ordered it last spring. They didn't have the pink one but I like this one too. They are so slow from seed, if you get them to germinate and I am not patient so I bought a plant.

drthor-just a south african native that likes dry and hot, so works well here. They are usually thought of as annuals here but can come back if the winter is mild or they get some protection. Bloom is pretty much all summer.
All your blooms and pictures are beautiful everyone.
We have some White Iris and Blue Bonnets that seem happy.
