{Amaryllis White Nymph in Our Garden}

First off, I like to wish you all a Happy Easter weekend!

• On April 8 we had this beautiful Amaryllis White Nymph, blooming in our wood garden. Yes, it does grow outside year round! We were lucky to have it in full bloom before we even went on vacation to south Florida. Most of my blogs I had prepared ahead of time. But we've come home in time for the Easter weekend.
• This Amaryllis we got from White Flower Farm where we bought numerous plants and bulbs over the years. Highly fragrant huge double white blooms come on a very thick stalk, with even more than one bloom per stalk. It resides in our wood garden now for more than a decade. Come join me for a Garden Tour.

• There is a resident inside this Amaryllis... A spider has woven a cobweb to probably trap flying insects and than attacking them from below. Nicely sheltered from the rain him/herself, as those petals are rather thick and strong.

• A hairy resident...

{Rhododendron Alabamense in Our Garden}

For Good Friday one last post with our pure white Rhododendron Alabamense (Alabama Azalea) that were blooming on April 12. This is a late variety in white, with yellow blotches. A rather slow grower too. We got ours from Woodlanders. Our three Rhododendron Alabamense are in our wood garden. They are highly fragrant! Come join me for a Garden Tour...

End of our Azalea show...

{Balta Rhododendron in Our Garden}

On April 8 our Balta Rhododendron was very showy, with its white hose-in-hose flowers. Guess it is perfect for showing these on 'White Thursday'. This Rhododendron is very compact. Enjoy these images from our garden. We have this lovely Rhododendron close to our gazebo. Join us for a Garden Tour
