Spring 2013

We had some weird weather in Lubbock this spring, with some sporadic summer-like temperatures, but also a late snowstorm (April 10). Several of our flowers have done well, as shown below. The look of so many colors bursting out at once reminds us of a fireworks show!


The above photo shows Clematis (green, with a little light-purple blooming; upper right) and Major Wheeler Honeysuckle (red flowers barely beginning to bloom; upper, left-center). Bottom right are three shades of Sweet William (lavender, red, and white). Poppies appear in white (midway up, to the left) and pink (near the lavender Sweet William) varieties. The purple flowers in the lower-left are Dame's Rocket.


The predominant flower in the next shot is the purple Dame's Rocket, with red Clematis shown above it.


The third photo is a wider shot of the first two pictures.


We also have Dame's Rocket growing by one of our trees.
