The Garden Awakening Continues....

A view from above of last years Hibiscus stalks. I cut them down as far as I can and wait for the new ones to grow up and out shadow the old. Just today I noticed my Hibiscus are starting to break dormancy and in July I'll see.....



Hibiscus in full bloom, in all their glory.

Just breaking ground now.......

Black Eyed Susans and different colored Cone Flowers will be blooming this summer.


Threadbare Coreopsis seems to be getting taller and taller each day and soon.....

Be filled with cheerful yellow flowers.

Flower Carpet Roses in different colors have grown all their leaves back......

Soon all the blooms will emerge.



The inside garden shouldn't be overlooked either, just this week I noticed another one of my Orchids is in spike and in a couple of months I should have some of the beautiful flowers above. This photos was taken when this Orchid was last in bloom. It has the sweetest color and is one of my favorites.
In art news, I'm about 3/4 of the way through a new venture, I'm creating my first painting pattern packet. The painting itself is finished and now all I have to do is go through, make sense of, organize and transcribe all my notes (of course, this is the hardest part). I hope to be showing that packet and explaining what it is all about in my next post.
