Last month my gardeners (lawn people)
asked if I wanted to clean up a large section of the yard that had become quite overgrown with intermixed vines and plants. I said okay. Well, what was left was a huge expanse of blank fence that had previously been covered in vines, and a blank expanse of ground that had been knee high in plants. I was scared!
But slowly things have been coming back.
This morning I was very excited to find two blooming Mexican Primroses in the mix of greens.
These leaves below will be purple sage, that velvety type that I like to stroke with my fingers.
I'll have to clear away some of the other stuff that looks like it wants to strangle it right now.
This is the stranglers, growing wild all of a sudden over the whole expanse. I think it might be honey suckle. The leaves are different from the Mexican Primrose that had filled this area before.
And two or three red orange trumpet vines are putting out leaves with promises of blooms to follow!
This plant which was totally buried before under vines is finding new life and will be a bush with yellow and green leaves when it full bloom.
And what I am guessing is honeysuckle is climbing off the ground and up the fence as well. Soon it will all be competing for space again and will be a lovely mix of flowers and good smells! The fence will be completely covered once more with new life.
Happy spring is springing up in my back yard. What's happening in yours may I ask?
