Dawg, is that an antique rose behind the wisteria?

Just plain old Knockout. I about gave up growing roses because of the constant battle with disease. Don't need that hassle! But I gave it one more shot with Knockout due to its supposed disease resistance and although they still get a bit of funk on them now and then, it's tolerable.

Nothing growing in the ground yet. A white narcissus is blooming on my balcony. Smells wonderful, but too strong for indoors.

GoDawgs I do hope that you have a window that you can open by your Mock Orange to allow it's incredible scent into your home. I had one at my old house and just loved it. Thanks for bringing back the memory.
I have never heard of a dwarf wisteria. I am going to look into this one. How old is yours and how tall is it? Do the deer prune it at all?

The kitchen window above the sink is right there by the plant. Know what? I've never thought to open it! It's a small window and kind of hard to reach over the sink to open but I'm sure gonna do it today!

Gosh, I'm trying to remember when I planted the Amethyst Falls. I worked for a large grower of ornamentals for 18 years and have been retired for seven so it's at least seven years old. I'd say it's about 3' tall and maybe 4-5' wide. The only pruning it gets is after it blooms when I cut off any "wild hairs" and shape it a bit and maybe a few more during the growing season. It's not aggressive at all, unlike the regular wisteria I foolishly planted about 15 years ago. It took four or five years to eventually kill that sucker off!

When I bought them they didn't have tags.

P.S. I saw my first hummingbirds today. I don't get very many in Spring.

Thanks, I bought the plant because it's suppose to bloom twice.

My pomegranate is in full bloom and I might get fruit this year.
The pomegranate has one of the most vivid red blooms you ever saw in your life and is water friendly too.

Vitex starting to put out blooms.
Red yucca that is really an agave is in full bloom.
Purple prickly pear bloomed.
Bluebonnets bloomed and now have seed pods.

Yay......Today I had my first Dandelion bloom!
Spring is on it's way.

It's that time of year when everything's starting to pop!

The Clematis (name forgotten) has been blooming next to a Knockout rose for several days now. It usually climbs the small trellis there for it but this year decided not to. I just noticed it yesterday.

And the first Asiatic lily opened yesterday. Again, the name forgotten.

The first 'Percy Wiseman' Rhodie opened fully yesterday too.

There should be daylilies soon, probably 'Stella D'Oro' as she's usually the first one out of the gate.

Rhododendrons won't grow in my area. Azaleas are all over the place. They are at their peak in early March.

If any grow in my part of Georgia they've been planted by homeowners but they're found out and about on their own in north Georgia up towards the Smokies.

This 'Little Gem Magnolia' has started to bloom and is adding a really sweet scent to the air when the wind blows right. It's a dwarf but that's only in relation to a full sized Magnolia. This one can get to 30' where a standard Magnolia grandiflora is a lot taller. Smaller leaves on this one too.
