It's winter again in my garden! This is my first spring with my new Viburnum macrocehpalu

Clematis 'Ramona'

The first Clematis to bloom in my garden each spring is Clematis 'Ramona.'

It happens to be my favorite Clematis too!

Tulipa clusiana var. Tubergens Gem

The little Tulips blooming amongst the Sedum and Golden Oregano is a species Tulip.  I love how the red pops with the green and gold.

The Kerria japonica, Golden Groundsel (Packera aurea) and Creeping Speedwell (Veronica umbrosa 'Georgia Blue') are in full bloom.  This time, I can take credit for the trio. I intentionally planted them together because, yellow and blue in the garden is well as we say in Texas "dang purty!"  I added four of the Yucca Color Guard (Yucca filamentosa) this year to "gild the groundsel."

Amaryllis Christmas Gift

 

A friend and I have started a tradition of buying an Amaryllis bulb in November.  This year, mine started opening up on Christmas Day, so it lived up to its name.  The flowers are GINORMOUS! I love the green centers and the pure white petals.  The image in the background is an Andy Warhol silk screen reproduction.

 

Last year I grew La Paz.
