We are having a very late spring this year.....usually by April 15th, we have our first bloom on all our roses. So I have been enjoying this beautiful double begonia while I wait for Don Juan, Mr. Lincoln and Belinda's Dream rose to open up. Good things come to those who wait.

They're back ! Fire Ants, Spring 2014. I researched progress made by our great state of Texas to eliminate fire ants, something that has turned into a life threatening hazard for me. I found that the University of Texas in Austin has a Fire Ant Project.

This beautiful Saturday morning I enjoyed our flowering bougainvillea hanging from the ceiling of our conservatory. According to Wikipedia this plant is native to South America.

My amaryllis is still blooming out in the conservatory.

What a lovely sight on these cold cloudy days of winter.

Last year my friend brought me a honeysuckle plant at the end of the planting season. This variety of honeysuckle is a tender perennial for North Texas, so we brought it in over the winter. All summer I waited for it to bloom.

So thankful to be able to look out on a beautiful garden through every window in our home.
