Seth's rose

This is the rose from an earlier post. It is in full bloom here. From a single branch that I just stuck in the ground.

Future lemons.

This year the citrus trees I have in containers on the dock exploded with bloom. Some of these buds will be Meyer lemons in the Fall.

Some wise nurserywoman sold me this plant whose name escapes me. It is the first up every Spring and makes a lovely display. It is already fading. These flowers are as close as I have found to the lupines I loved in the Northeast. I believe that Texas bluebells are closer, so I'll try those next year.

All of the roses are fully leaved and budded.

This is the time of year when a garden is all possibilities. All of the Spring flowers are out, the summer flowers are just babies, the flowering bushes (gardenia) and vines (Confederate jasmine) are covered with buds and all of the vegetables look perfect. This is one corner of my garden.
