Thursday in the Garden (Early Flower Friday)

Snapdragons are cheerful little flowers Mommy stuck these in one of the containers that stays GREEN all year.

Cumin

It did really well this year.

Fennel, we like the way the feathery leaves change color, right now they are a sort of bronze color. The small clump next to it is Mexican Tarragon.

Oregano, it has almost taken over the entire bed. We love the fact that it has survived for years in this bed and done pretty well. This is the best year ever for it.

Wild violets. Mommy loves violets especially these little purple ones.

Crossvine, we wish it bloomed  more, but we are always happy to see it's blooms.


More wild violets but these are white.

Our favorite Azalea. We wish they all looked like this. Funnily enough this is the one Daddy didn't think would survive being moved away from the house, which is why it isn't next to the driveway with the others. Mommy planted it here because she couldn't drag it any further.

What Mommy calls Irish Bells but we think their real name is Snow Drops.

Chinese Witch Hazel

We love it's hot pink blooms.

Bugleweed


And our purple Wisteria. ~ATCAD

Oh, coriander, mama uses it all the time but it has bolted. And the snowdrops look like witld garlic, so pretty, and the snaps-- wow, and the azaleas!! In Houston where mama is from, the Azaleo Trail is every year. Google it. Lovely yards full of them. Green thumbs abound at your property!

We have lots of things coming up in our gardens that I have no idea what they are! I love when things just come up. We've had so much rain these past few days...there is probably even more surprises out there!
