Spring in the Desert

 

I’ve been missing quite a bit from the computer.

I’ve been having a little love affair with

Spring.

With this iris and that iris.

Oh, and a little Jasmine here and there.

The snail vine has been quite demanding of my time. . .

a little jealousy in the garden with the

ever prolific iris.

The competition really heated up

when I brought in the Portulaca for the summer.

Species?

Margarita Mix

of course!

Spring is short here in the desert

So I’ll be back soon.

Oh a love affair with your garden...how delicious!! And might I add that I too have been smitten by my weence plot of land. Oh how I wish you could see how breath taking is my white wisteria. She is blooming ever so profusely. Maybe a gust of wind will blow her scent in your direction.

Much love, Lovely Lady of the Blossoms...ooh! A new title for you ;-)

Oh so beautiful! I have some portulaca seeds started but they are barely up yet, let alone flowering! I am looking forward to them, thanks for this little glimpse of things to come. Hope you are having a splendid day!

I think I can smell that jasmine from here.......
