Late frosts and hail in NW Austin means the larkspurs are finally budding and the snap peas just making pods. The last iris are opening and only a few daylilies have flowers - most just making buds. <br /><br />WeAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-9756879943865795962009-05-09T12:47:00.000-07:002009-05-09T12:47:00.000-07:00I just got back from a garden nursery, where, amon...I just got back from a garden nursery, where, among other things, I purchased lantana and coneflower.

I cannot wait to have that issue! I just planted some of the yellow variation this year, the blooms are only now just forming. I noticed on your Meyer lemon you have had some blackening and most likely fruit drop.

It seems incredibly exotic to me to be able to grow them in your garden. And lemons too. We did a house exchange once with a family from Los Angeles, and one of the things I was most impressed by in the whole holiday (forget Disneyland) was all the for us exotic fruit just growing away in the garden - avocados, lemons, Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269887100694066103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-7994160578856715672009-05-08T21:08:00.000-07:002009-05-08T21:08:00.000-07:00Oh well, I can always count on having the "worst s...Oh well, I can always count on having the "worst season ever for tomatoes" every year!!!

It is just too hot for most all the flowers, even ones listed as summer wildflowers. You're lucky to have such a large variety and long season. My Meyer lemon has also dropped some fruits, but I think the rest will hold. I'm glad I bought this citrus plant!<br />AiyanaAiyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525758484165324330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-10268552154221142192009-05-08T19:02:00.000-07:002009-05-08T19:02:00.000-07:00Oh yes, leave the coneflowers!
