Catching up...long time, no post

I have six months of garden stories to catch up on as I realized my last post on here was from January 2015. The write-ups may be brief, but I am going to try to give you a quick overview on what has been happening on cloverleaf corner.

My Molineux rose…this has been a favorite of mine given it’s connections to my hometown. It means even more to see it bloom so well this year. And right next to it are the Golden Celebrations:

A transplant from Chris’ grandfather’s farm in Knott, Texas:

Some blooms from bulbs I planted way back in October. It took a while to work out these were ranunculus:

The magnolia tulip tree:

My red bud blossomed:

Bluebonnets and yellow daisy-like flowers:

Orange mallow that I had difficulty finding until last autumn:

My garden gets by with a little help from my friends (Aaron gets a bit of weeding in--and if he's had a few beers, he's probably chuntering away to himself in a British accent):
