Garden Blogger's Bloom Day May 2014

It's Garden Blogger's Bloom Day and time to share the plants blooming in my garden.  It's been a very dry spring in San Antonio but substantial rains in the last few days are helping out quite a bit.

The biggest and best bloom surprises are these Color Guard Yuccas planted just over two years ago, which are sporting their first ever blooms.  With more than 10 hours of direct sun a day during summer months these plants have grown to nearly four feet diameter in a very short time.  The third bloom was caught on a leaf and is lagging behind.  I will look forward to these creamy, bell-shaped beauties each year from now on.

Garden Blogger's Bloom Day: November 2011

It's raining today!  A rare rainy day here, but I knew that might happen and took these photos yesterday evening.  We have had great weather here so I had no problem finding  blooms for my first Garden Blogger's Bloom Day post.  Join Carol at May Dreams Gardens and other garden bloggers as we post what's blooming today in our gardens.

Lots of single blooms because it was a tough summer and we've had a couple of chilly nights.
