First rose!
'Apricot Nectar' comes up with the first blossom of the year. Aphid problems beginning, but let's enjoy the moment.

'In the struggle for survival, the fittest win out at the expense of their rivals because they succeed in adapting themselves best to their environment.' In other words, you're on your own, little green guys.
Welcome
I garden in Central Texas. This blog is my notebook to track bloom times, what was planted when, etc. It may not make great reading, but you're welcome to poke around!
The toughest flowers I've grown so far - gracefully bearing Texas heat, alkaline soil and criminal neglect - are Grand Primo narcissus and Belinda’s Dream shrub rose.
Rosemary and ruellia also perform very well in heat and neglect (and the former makes for tasty roasted potatoes).
