Our Plants Are Bloomin'

Our daughter Cassie had a big hand in getting some our flowering plants and trees finally put in and growing. And some of them have been growing for a few years now. Cassie misses her plants and wanted us to put a post in our blog showing some of "her" plants. Only one of our crepe myrtles is currently blooming. The other seven ones she put in are still "fixin'" to bloom and will be out any day now. Anyway, for Cassie and for all to enjoy, here are some of our bloomin' plants.

The first is our backyard Mamosa tree.

We always love the fireworks of pink blossoms they put out.

Next you can see our frontyard Mamosa. Karen had to take a picture from the street so Cassie can see "how big it's gotten". Next is one of our many crepe myrtles. This is the only one that is currently in bloom. The others are, like is say, "fixin" to bloom any day now. The one by the back door is getting pretty big. Of course, since we cut the crepe myrtles way back every year how "big" they are is kind of a relative thing.

Last of all we have a picture of our newest additions. One of our hybiscus plants in front died so we replaced it with two smaller ones that we hope will grow up big to fill the space left by the one that died. Anyway, the two replacements are yellow, and they will be right next to the pink one that is bloomin' already.
