Calif_Sue's blog: Weather is warming!

It's really warming up, seems spring is in full force around here.
I have a bit of trouble with focusing but that will improve as I get better.

A favorite spirea, Japanese Spirea (Spiraea japonica 'Magic Carpet')


The Carolina Jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens 'Margarita') I posted yesterday


I love all my abutilon, they bloom year round. This is Paisley.


This daylily is already blooming, just not opening as wide as it should be if it was warmer, Red Volunteer is an awesome red and great plant!


Some onion type bulbs


Pink Flowering Almond (Prunus glandulosa 'Sinensis')


Purple Gromwell (Glandora prostrata 'Star')


This is one tough plant, through rain and frosty nights (I know, nothing as cold as so many of you) but for a succulent, this one is great!
Graptosedum (XGraptosedum 'Pinky')


Honey Bush (Melianthus major)
The unusual russet bloom is about 10 inches long, the blue-green leaves are huge. They smell like peanut butter.

This one self seeds and blooms through the winter. Honeywort (Cerinthe major subsp. purpurascens)


This Potato Vine (Solanum laxum) was already here when we moved in, with a lavender lantana at it's base.


This is my huge Echeveria (Echeveria agavoides) sendng up some bloom stalks, there is a smaller baby behind and I have popped off and repotted two others.


Emerging grape leaves


Nemesia, feverfew and a daylily
