Now that we have longer, I can get a couple of extra hours of gardening after work. I'm turning my attention to the front
garden, as you can see I let the weeds take over and the
bromeliads grow out of control.
First on the agenda was this flower bed under my
powder puff tree. I always have
difficulties in this area
because of the amount of direct sunlight it gets. This time I'm going for a butterfly/bee
friendly flowerbed. The
vincas were the only flowers that survived last summer's heat, today I planted a
mixture of blue
dase,
pentas,
Mexican heather, coleus and
yellow l
atanas.
The blooms of the week, are the Mexican flame vine, it started to blooming on the side garden.

Your Mexican Flame vine is just so beautiful. Sounds like you have put in some wonderful plants to your bed. Lantana is always a favorite of mine.Have a wonderful week.
It is nice of you to share these beautiful Spring gems in your garden. This season is indeed a time when plants are abloom and they make the surroundings seem better again after Winter.
You have a lovely garden with plenty of blooms. Particularly impressed with your orange vine. A most welcoming floral arch.
Beautiful photos..especially love the Mexican Flamevine! What do you add to your soil when planting new plants? Also, what do you fertilize with?
thank you for sharing your gorgeous yard!
This is a pretty decent (decent is a less powerful word to describe this) garden considering that you don't have much space. This is a must see for all urban settlers. I particularly like the grass. ;o)
