If you shop at nurseries each month and buy some of what is blooming, you will have a garden for all seasons.

It has worked for me for the last 18 years of my gardening. Another EXCUSE to go to the nursery!!! LOL!!!

Magga, that is not my picture but it looks like a bougainvillea... maybe???

Very good idea, and a great reason to go to the nursery! Like we need another reason right?

Great idea Jeri. It's always so hard to go into a nursery or garden center and not want everything in sight!

I agree ... photo definitely looks to be a Bougainvillea. I have one in a container that hasn't done much of anything the past two years .... hope to get it in the ground before long. A good friend of mine has two planted beneath her live oak trees and those things are gorgeous, climbing and twining up the oaks ... and in full bloom most of the year!

I'm not sure I want more excuses. I think my plant budget is exhausted for the year. Doesn't mean I won't....

Plant Budget ? .... what's that?

My so-called plant budget is gone in one nursery trip.
