Hints of Spring 03-02-2023
It is kind of a weird day today. It is is about 70 degrees, sunny, breezy, and a little more humid than it has been. But, the weather folks are telling us that hellacious thunderstorms are coming around 7:00 PM. This beauty outside may be the calm before the storm, but I still enjoyed looking for signs of spring. I love this time of year, especially when I find buds on a plant I didn't expect to make it!
 Evening Primrose |
 |
 Crackpot Roses (ASA Knockout) White, yellow, and coral flowers on the same plant! |
 This is Jared's Redbud Tree. It has these flowers before eventually getting nice big green leaves. |
 |
 It was about a foot tall when he got it at his Alamo Area Master Naturalist graduation. |
 These came back from last year. |
 Woodsorrel... Not sure which one. |
 Texas Nightshade |
 Each of those little fuzzballs will most likely have a bloom! |
 Cue the choirs of angels! I thought my Mexican Buckeye was a gonner. It just turned all brown and never lost its leaves as it has in the past. But there are nice little green buds. |
 The oregano and rosemary in Jared's herb garden made it through the winter. |
 This little beauty is the only one of its kind in my backyard. It is Tenpetal Thimbleweed (AKA Tenpetal Anemone and Anemone berliandieri) |
