2015 - April and Early May Flowers

This post "2015 - April and Early May Flowers" was written by Diva Glinda/Annie in Austin for her Divas of the Dirt blog.

Remember the 2014 Cactus Removal project at Mindy's last year? When we Divas of the Dirt left there was a large sweep of cleared ground in the front of her house. Mother Nature filled the vacuum in spectacular fashion, as you can see in the photo from April 2015, with Mindy's metal horse sculpture surrounded by an enormous patch of bluebonnets that sprang up in the empty space.



The 2014 Iris Box project at Glinda's house was a success, too... in April 2015 these happy iris obviously appreciate their new home! These grape-scented beauties are passalong plants, shared by Sophia back in 2006.

There was no Divas of the Dirt garden day for April 2015 - unforeseen illness interfered with well-made plans. But there were still beautiful flowers!

In early May Diva Annie's overachieving Abutilon reached for the roof, dangling beautifully veined bell-shaped flowers above our heads. This variety is named for garden designer Patrick Kirwin.

And the leadball tree planted in Sophia's revamped side-drive border had settled in well, popping their golden orbs in early May.
