Our Flower garden - mostly in pots

Flowers 2016

My daughter gets all the credit for this garden. I only purchsed the bulbs.   Above is one of the purple pansies she got for herself for Mother's day.

We got four large yellow daffodils and here are two of them.

Of the Tulip bulbs we had many colors. 

Grape Hyacinth.

My indoor garden three kinds of Succulents

The Yellow Hibiscus we got last October has been blooming again and my daughter added the larger plant to a nice planter. She puts it outside so it gets sun and brings it inside at night. 

Our first flowers were these Purple, Yellow and White Crocus

Some of the Purple Iris bloomed in May

Trees

Trees bloomed very quickly from the front the Pink and the side of the house was the White blooms.

The Pink blooms are gone and the leaves are a dark purple the rest of the year. This is non fruit bearing tree. 

The White blooms from the side of the house tree. We are not sure yet if this one is fruit bearing. We think that there was no fruit on either tree as we were here in July last year and we did not see any fruit. 

We are very happy with all the growing things in our house and property!  We did put some of the plants in the front yard.  They let us do that to their rental.  The owners were very happy that my daughter and son in law are good gardeners and approve of the things they have planted.  Most of the plants and veggies are in pots.  We already have been using the Herbs and the Lettuces.
