This weekend our garden was in full bloom and busy with bees, butterflies, birds, lizards and blooms.

Can you see the butterfly on the tree trunk in the picture below?

Last year we planted our bird of paradise by the mailbox. We hoped that it would survive our coldest winter ever and it has certainly surprised us with a flurry of repeat blooms this summer.

Paul's favorite thing to do is walk around the garden and look for lizards. I decided to do a little research and found that our lizards are called Carolina anole (Anolis carolinensis) .

This is the two year anniversary of www.pbgarden.com and my 35th Mother's Day.

To Brian and Jennifer:

I love being your Mom !! Thank you for giving me so many wonderful memories.

It was so lovely to sit in the shade garden today after work. Our Texas Gold Columbine is in full bloom and I love the unusual shape of the full flower, just exquisite. Texas Gold Columbine is a perennial and of course native to Texas. It does best in shade to part sun and blooms in the spring.

We will miss you !!
