On March 31, I've taken photos from some more tender pot plants on our patio and around the gazebo.
Having lived a sheltered life all winter, inside the greenhouse, they were now ready to move outdoors.
Spooky boy is always following you, like a loyal doggy... being a feline though.
Azalea is so HAPPY as one of Our Pot Plants!
Cleaning up the patio didn't make sense yet, or you could repeat it every day.
Catkins falling and frozen and dead leaves...
A very happy Hibiscus, the latest 'RESCUE', as Pieter loves to bring home neglected and abused pot plants from Home Depot and by placing them straight into a larger pot with good potting soil and being sheltered inside the Greenhouse, it LOVED us right back!
Our Staghorn Fern came out of the greenhouse for living one more year on the remainder of the special saved stump.
However, the stump is being worked over by the woodpeckers and such so each year there is less and less!
In the back you still see the frozen Japanese Magnolia leaves being brown.
This was such a delight on March 31!
Our variegated Bougainvillea was in FULL bloom while in the greenhouse...
Joy for the blooming Bougainvillea but what a SAD sight was this totally frozen Pommegranate tree...
BUT - Miracles do happen in nature!
This photo and the next are taken on May 8, and sadly there is only ONE Bougainvillea flower left...
But LOOK:
Next to the Bougainvillea this young Pomegranate tree has gotten completely NEW LEAVES!
Still you can see some of the dead, brown ones from the March 16 Frost.
Oh, one of our cat boys comes following me of course!
Closer to our Greenhouse, there is the 2nd young Pomegranate tree and here you see the very same young green leaves with some of the wilting frozen and brown ones.
That makes one very happy!
Both of us LOVE this Antioxidant SuperFruit.
Need to get out and weed our garden as on May 20 we will have people come for a Garden Tour, a fund raiser of one of my Knight Owls Choir members.
And yes, we did perform on Saturday the 6th at 14:00 and at 19:00 o'clock at our local theatre.
Together with the younger Mockingbirds; Hummingbirds; Knightingales we sang, danced and performed.
The full DVD of both performances will be available by the end of the month so finally all choir members can enjoy it too!
Husband Pieter was very impressed by this 20th Anniversary Revue.
All because of one single woman, our talented Leader Kelly Knight (hence our names Knightingales and Knight Owls...).
What a great asset to our community!
Will soon be catching up with your blogs and thanks for your visits here.
