Love Mother's Day

It seems that Mom and I celebrate Mother's day the same way . . . forcing children (or grandchildren) into slave labor for the day. Gardening is very good for kids . . .

So, I moved all the potted plants out of the greenhouse, trimmed them all, repotted them all and then rearranged them all. It was a HUGE undertaking.

Here are the trees in the corner (Mom's Bay, my fig, a norfolk island pine and a tropical hibiscus).



And here are the passiflora - with a few friends. I lost several this winter - they were crowded enough in the SubT that I didn't notice.




And Miss S's famous pondlet - with a brand new lily - n minuta. And my lilies in the freshly weeded garden in front of the big hydrangea.




The new variegated iris on the beach of the pond - man does the pond want to be cleaned!

And last, but not least,

some flowers under the bird feeders - gloriosa lilies, a hummer bush that a friend sent me and a blooming olive (that's never bloomed).

This is Miss M's herb garden. This year it's only going to be basil and one galapagos tomato plant and I think I might add a green pepper plant.
