I say corny because I nearly just CRIED this morning as I walked around our Wildscape. But it's true because everything is just utterly stunning. All the blooms moved me to near tears. Isn't God just the most awesome Designer?

| That's groundsel busting out. Can you see the bluebonnets we transplanted from our neighbor Jerri's patch? She insisted that we take some to plant near our signs. |
 |
| Four-nerve daisy and culinary sage in bloom. |

| My new Texas persimmon (inside the rock circle) looks great. See my GIANT fragrant gaillardia (far right)? CAN'T WAIT for it to bloom! |
 |
| Salvias are blooming, too. |
 |

Doesn't it seem as though every spring wildflower is blooming right now? I love that globe mallow. Do you have the variety. I have never seen that color before.
Sheryl, I am always amazed at what a wonderful, awesome Creator God is! We are just His hands, helping to take care of His garden. You've done a great job bringing beauty to your yard!
Sheryl, is that mallow angustifolia? I've seen lots of the orange globemallow growing around Austin, but not one with pink blooms. I'm with Jenny - those are striking! And that yellow honeysuckle is gorgeous... There's a lot to love in those beds!
Yes, I believe they are Sphaeralcea angustifolia. James transplanted one from a ranch east of town several years ago.
