It's growing




Vine growing in a tree.



I have never seen these before and I could not find were it starts. Sure are pretty.

Unknow Yellow Flowers




More yellow flowers




I'm not to sure what type of Flower these are. If anyone knows, please pass it along. I found them growing in the corner of my garden under a tree. There are more that have yet to open.

Polished Manners - Iris







How pretty these are, and their fragrance is light and sweet. They look great by the pond.

Herbs and Fruit

I found about 4 patches of Garlic around the garden. I can't wait to harvest in June.The grape vine is doing well. I think its about time to clip the leaves and start training it.

Ah, the Tomato! I'm happy to see one already growing. There are 4-5 more flowers that just died off and should produce fruit soon.







Clematis




There are over 250 recognised classifications of the Clematis. All of which contain oils and compounds that are extremely toxic. Causing internal bleeding of the digestive tract, if the amount is large enough. Native Americans used very small amounts to cure migraines and nervous disorders.
...seems that digesting something toxic would make the nervous disorder worse...but that's just me.


Yucca Plant.





I never got a good picture of it in full bloom. This is right before it popped open.
I have many more around the yard that have not bloomed. I think because they are to shaded.
Yucca's love direct sunlight.

Hydrangeas




Did you know:
Hydrangeas change colors depending on the amount of aluminum that's in the soil. They change from Pink to Blue with more aluminum.
I read that Hydrangea's can turn deep red. Hot climates, Like the South, prevent this from happening in my garden.

Plants.












Would ya take a look at these! I can't believe how big they grew this year. Last year only one bloomed and it was not this big. Can't wait to see how pretty they are!

Kitchen up grade




Here are some pictures of what We've been up to. It was a great DIY team project. I measured all the title and He cut them. Both of us placed the thin set, tile and grout. Easy. Only took us 4 days and the Kitchen is still not back to normal. But it sure looks nice!
