Bluebells, heralds of spring.
3 Oct '07 3:58 pm I know where you are in your season from these flowers. That's when I know the garden is ready to really wake up again. They're not fancy but they're my favorite bulb of the ones I grow. Oops, no I forgot about Muscari. I like those even more. They'd look great in your fairy garden.
I think phormium makes just about everything look better. Is Choiysa the same as "Mock Orange" or "Mexican Orange"? It's fragrant isn't it? I've been wanting to grow that. I think it becomes quite a large shrub though.
Good night,
Mark

Spring fruit tree
5 Oct '07 3:19 am Where can I get one of those trees? I like the fruit it appears to produce. Here we go again, with the grandchildren comments.
Such a cutie, Dixie.

8 Oct '07 5:00 pm Choisya is called mexican Orange Blossom, Mark, and for me it's very faintly fragrant. Not a scent that's sweet, though. It's often planted here in terribly traffic polluted places (like next to the drive-thrus at fast food places) and always looks good.
Dixie, I love your spring pix. Please post some more!
