Feb Yard Update

With some recent rain and warm temps, the yard is coming alive.

Here is a two-bit tour:

- A view of the northwest side of the yard, blooming aloes, valentine emu bush, hardenbergia vine in the far background

- Another view of the same area of the yard

- One of the pomegranates leafing out, pretty maroon shade and very glossy, this plant is interesting year round. They apparently begin fruiting their third spring in the ground (after being transplanted), so hopefully this will be the year!



- Feather-leaf cassia (yellow) in the foreground, hardenbergia (purple) in the background. The cassia bushes smell like perfume when in bloom

- More blooming aloes with a bougenvillia (sp?) in the background

- Asian pear planted back in December, starting to leaf out. A bought one at the store the other day, and wasn't impressed with the flavor, had a nutty undertone like our jujubees, very juicy, but bland. Hopefully I just picked a bad one.

- Jonquil (sp?), I believe, blooming in the big planter box off the back porch
