Today Mini Arty, Mama and I(Mini Jakey) are going to wrap up our Texas visit with a look at some of the flowers we saw along our journey!
The hotel had a beautimous gazebo surrounded with rose bushes!
The dwarf bottle brush flowers look like the type of fireworks even the real Jakey would like!
There was a ton of Oleander in all shades of pretty colors!
Of course, this flowering plant can be found all over Texas...
Mama really misses the Crepe Myrtle. While it grows all over the Texas Hill Country, it doesn't grow here behind the Redwood Curtain!
There were a variety of creative plant arrangements around Main Street, Marble Falls!
Purple heart(sometimes know as Purple Queen) plants filled some planters...
...and Hibiscus could be found in other containers!
Lots of little rose bushes were everywhere
We saw some yellow bell flowers
...and what we think is some kind of Trumpet flower.
We even saw some little yellow succulent flowers!
Again...not sure if this is trumpet vine with pink flowers...but it sure is pretty!!
Last, but not least, Mama's most favorite Texas flower....
Breathtaking Lantana in pink and orange!!
We hope y'all have a Groot-y weekend!!
Those are super Texas flowers. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty flowers! My momma says she and her sister used to use lantana as Barbie boo-kays.
ReplyDeletethe bottle brush flower is super beautiful!... and now the mama sings da yellow rose of texas in my ears... aaah help!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous post! All of your Texas flowers are just beautiful...but my two faves are the bottle brush and the hibiscus. I always know I am in the south when I see them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Crikey ...... Your Mama likes lantana. It's known as a noxious weed here in Australia. Its not native to our country but it really LOVES the conditions and since being introduced has taken over. We really try very hard to get rid of it. Mum always keeps me well away from it as it is known to harbour ticks. We don't like lantana at all in our country/ It is pretty though, aye??
ReplyDeleteWe loved the side seeing of the Texas flowers and we heared the yellow bellies ring. They are magnificent :) Pawkisses for a Groot-y Weekend to you too :) <3
ReplyDeleteThe bottlebrush does look like fireworks! The oleander reminds mom so much of her visits to gram's house. Such beautiful flowers!
