Loquats ripening. Might attempt a small batch of Loquat Salsa to have with fish.

Seldom cut my TX Bluebonnets but knockdown by rain made that decision for me

Seeing bluebonnets in my garden is good... seeing raindrops on my bluebonnets is better!

For flower lovers & the @WildflowerCtr here's my #TxMtnLaurel with Mexican Honeysuckle in the background

This TX Mnt Laurel about 40" tall after 7 years, @Vertie & @back40feet. Still looking down at it.

Buds on 'Julia Child' rose with bluebonnets in waiting. This & 'Mutabilis' only roses blooming now, @dmkloba

Do these gifts from our kids mean they think we are Foodies? Better not tell them we're really just Eaties.

Close-up of my Abelia, @gardenfix. Bet @whereplantsrock is right and yours is different species.

Of 12 figs made by our tree we snagged 3. Rest were eaten green - looks like birds to me

To anyone who got these rainlilies from me, name now changed: http://www.yuccado.com/labufa/

Know the advice is Don't shop Hungry. Guess that includes Peony Hunger.

Here are the maybe 'Purple Flash' peppers, @Tikikristi & @NorCalKatie

Sometimes these flowers mean rain, but today it's just heat & humidity

Chomped tomato so trivial compared with Tornado, yet sciuricide dreams liveth in my heart.

Once again mystified by visitor to birdbath fountain. @mikaelb? @PlantBirdWoman?

Here's Christmas in April - not snow but floral Christmas ornaments

Mixed feelings about Cedar Waxwings

Wish I had meadow for Jack, @Vertie- will 3 bluebonnets & 1 paintbrush work?

Tired of cutting back dead plants, but not tired of White iris!

RIP Sargent Shriver. Souvenirs of my first chance to vote for prez.
