Spring 2001
|
Spring 2001 brought us a nice surprise!! We planted some rose bushes (A) amongst the honey suckle on the large arch that covers the biofilters. For the last three years, the two red bushes would put on about half a dozen blooms and they would smell wonderful but the white rose bush would just tease us. It would put on 30-40 buds but the flowers never opened. Well we were in for a real show this spring, as you can see. The white rose bush started out just like it normally would every spring and we all knew that the buds were going to die before they ever opened. Well if I were to guess this one plant must have had at least 100 blossoms!! Our pond still has a way to go before it's as beautiful as it should be, but here is a nice shot (B) of the honeysuckle, the roses and the waterfall. We've added some 'extras' to the yard (C), (D) to our garden area. My little brother moved last year and was going to leave two great big planter urns because they were too heavy for him to move. Well lucky for us we were there when he decided this and we had no problem moving them into our van and back to La Grange, TX My birthday fell on Thanksgiving last year and my family bought be a beautiful Arch to go over my sidewalk that leads the the area we park our van. Since this picture (E) I've planted a new rose bush, a Passion Vine, and two other climbing, flowering vines on it. I thought I would also share you the beautiful hanging begonia, it's been in full bloom for a month and shows no signs of stopping any time soon. You would think that we have enough going on in our yard, but it seems the more we do, the more our imagination takes over and the more ideas we come up with. Next is should be a small gazebo!!
