Happy Spring!
Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night. ~Rainer Maria Rilke
Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn. ~ Lewis Grizzard
Spring makes its own statement, so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of the instruments, not the composer. ~Geoffrey B. Charlesworth
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt. ~Margaret Atwood

Beautiful flowers!
so pretty-don’t you just love the Banksia Roses at this time of year ?!!
what is the purple flower – I have seen that plant all over this week and for sure it made it through the terribel freeze and such beautiful blooms–Thanks in advance
Betsy, the purple flower is from the Texas Mountain Laurel.
It is a wonderful plant. I didn’t even cover it through the freeze and it come out on the side perfectly. Here’s a little more info on it:
Texas mountain laurel is an evergreen, usually multi-trunked shrub or small tree ranging from just a few feet tall to more than 30 ft. in height, though its usual height at maturity is 10-15 ft. The bluish lavender flowers, in 3-7 in. drooping clusters, are very showy and fragrant.
