My Garden So Far This Year (Lots of Photos)

[Phoenixsylvestris2]

Hello everyone, I wanted to share some photos of my plants. Please excuse the mess, I'm still planting and weeding and doing yardwork now that the weather warmed up

My favorite bushy plant, Bottlebrush:

I really like the fast growing habits and multiple blooming throughout the year this plant provides, plus its a bee and hummingbird magnet! It bloomed almost all Winter, and is still blooming.

Grace Ward lithodora:

Its starting to grow in.

Zinnia Flower Bed:

Every year for about 8 years I've been planting these awesome flowers from the seeds of the previous plants. I love thedifferent colors and butterfly traffic they bring to the yard. Definately one of my favorite flowers.

Loropetalum chinense:

Just got this recently, hope it does well.

Creeping Jenny, one of my favorite ground covers even though I just found out about it:

Snapdragons:

The pink ones are 2 years old. The other 2 are new this year.

Canna Lilies I got from my aunt last year. This year they are coming in very well and look better than before:

Those snapdragons are so pretty. Reminds me, I forgot to start some this year!

Everything looks great!

I love how they are so colorful and blooming so early for you! Still waiting on my snapdragons... but I see buds!

I wanted to share some Spring with everyone Its funny that at my old house I could not keep snapdragons alive but in this yard they do a lot better.

Went back to Lowes to get some more soil and came back with a few more flowers. I'm hooked on planting this year more than last. Now I need to find more room lol. I will get some photos of the new plants after the rain stops.

I hope everyone's plants are doing great too.

I just visited the Manito Park conservatory in Spokane, WA, last weekend, they had tons of plants in bloom inside, but my favorite was the bottlebrush!! I just loved how thready and cool the blooms were! Nice gardens, thanks for sharing!

I especially like your Loropetalum! That's a nice specimen plant, wish I could grow one.
