Garden Blogger's Bloom day January 2015

 Kalanchoe blooming this time of year
 Oxalis spiralis
 Hubby and I decided to install gates and have an area of the property enclosed to prevent the dogs from wandering onto the busy road. I have chosen the gate design and am in the process of finding someone to build them.
 The beautiful African Tulip adding that flame in the landscape.
 A close up of the flower, just look at that trim on the edge. Reminds me of a flamenco dancer's skirt.

 The spent flowers decorate the grass.
 Duranta repens
 Can you believe I have apple seedlings growing. Out of 15 I have four that are coming along nicely.
My front entrance begonias are still showing off their blooms. They will soon be needing to be cut back and I am postponing that until the very last moment.

Hello and welcome to Garden Blogger's Bloom day where gardeners around the globe show what is blooming in their gardens.  Earlier this week we had some unexpected rain and I was so happy for that drenching.
To see more blooming gardens please visit Carol's page at May dreams gardens. Wishing all a healthy and happy 2015.

Bloomsday Friday



African tulip tree is also known as flame of the forest



Gosh my roses were pruned around late november and now they are blooming profusely! I dare not take a picture at ground level! The weeds are growing like wild fire and it has been too wet last week to clean the bed. I should buy some filter fabric for this bed to control the weeds. I think I will try it. Any suggestions?
