No rhyme or reason…

….or theme,to this post…

….but I’ll try to find one….

It’s where the garden is,today.

Sooo…

..here we go…

B is for….

Birds….birds

and Bleeding Heart Vine…IMG_3829

and Bat-faced Cuphea…IMG_3838

and Banana Shrub…IMG_3839

I knew I had been smelling banana popsicles.Sure enough,it was blooming again.

I guess I’m not as crazy as I thought I was…

...I am always amazed at how much scent one bloom of this shrub can give off.

and…

continuing with the alphabet theme…

…I knew I’d find a theme….

 

C is for…Caladiums…IMG_3835

poor things….

Every time I find another one coming up where they used to grow in total shade,I dig them up and move to a shadier spot.

more Cats…

‘Mr.Stripey’ heirloom that I planted last fall. It did nothing all winter.

This early Spring,just when I was getting ready to rip it out,I saw blooms…

It got to stay…

The fruit are HUGE!

So,when I noticed the Blue Jays hanging around I decided it was time to pick it.

I’m glad I let it hang around a little longer….

B's and C's, and a pretty T to boot, lol. Sounds like me trying to rhyme and reason my way to a blogpost title. : ) I think you have a J in there also (jatropha, maybe). Anyway, I'm lovin' the banana popsicles in my garden too! That is one awesome shrub! Your Emma is as cute as a button!

OMG... Emma is definitely the cutest little toddler I've ever seen... and I've had five of my own!! I just want to squish those little cheeks. BTW... was she just born yesterday? Where does the time go?

Your gardens are fabulous as always lady. You are amazing.
