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!!

ReplyDeleteNo crape myrtles? They're everywhere! Momma says her last city, McKinney, was the Crape Myrtle Capital of Texas!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Nature is a magical thing.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. Scritches to the pups. ♥
Those are sure pretty flowers. We've been thinking of you all, especially your Mama.
ReplyDeleteThere are sure some beautiful flowers. I can smell them from here.

Flowers are perfect for today - we have fresh snow, 15°F, and 25 mph wind. Definitely wintery. So your flowers were a balm for my soul. I hope that your mama is doing okay - it must be so hard. I've been thinking of her and her family.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing plants from other parts of the country and Texas had some amazing varieties. The crepe myrtle and oleander are really gorgeous, as is the bottle brush plants! Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteAgain, gorgeous flowers. We identify with the bottle brush and oleander. They make up the bulk of our little garden.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers you mini's found in Texas

Bottle brushes are so cool looking! I love lantana too.
