This weekend Paul helped me in the garden after he finished playing golf on Saturday, even though he was tired. We got a lot done including planting a few new perennials and trimming the trellis vines. Enjoy our summer phlox and rose of sharon tree in full bloom. Happy Independence Day !

I am in the 5 percent of the population that has a severe life threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis when stung by a fire ant. The red or black imported fire ant now infests more than 260 million acres in the southern United States.

Late Bloomers

We are having a very late spring this year.....usually by April 15th, we have our first bloom on all our roses. So I have been enjoying this beautiful double begonia while I wait for Don Juan, Mr. Lincoln and Belinda's Dream rose to open up. Good things come to those who wait.

University of Texas Fire Ant Project

They're back ! Fire Ants, Spring 2014. I researched progress made by our great state of Texas to eliminate fire ants, something that has turned into a life threatening hazard for me. I found that the University of Texas in Austin has a Fire Ant Project.

This beautiful Saturday morning I enjoyed our flowering bougainvillea hanging from the ceiling of our conservatory. According to Wikipedia this plant is native to South America.

My amaryllis is still blooming out in the conservatory.

What a lovely sight on these cold cloudy days of winter.
