This Week In My Garden - April 25, 2011

Monday
Our continuing monsoons are beating up my roses, so I've resorted to

rescuing some of them to bring inside.

These little 'Pinky' roses are from a climber and look like crushed velvet

all huddled together in a crystal candy dish.

Sunshine is predicted for tomorrow ...... and now it is TOMORROW!
Tuesday
And there is lots of sunshine ..... wooohooo!

'Pinky' - climber

The Acorn Woodpeckers must be raising babies, as they visit the feeder bowl frequently during the day.  Very interesting characters with great personalities. They live here year round in colonies, with only one pair breeding per year.  The rest of the flock helps to tend the chicks, both feeding and babysitting the new members of the colony.


Drenched, drowned and unable to hold its head up.

'Eden' - climber

Aeonium inflorescence

Lavatera maritima - Tree Mallow 'Bicolor'

Aloe in bloom, and up close and personal they almost look like hot peppers.
