On this overcast Friday morning, the purple larkspur just pop out in the garden.
More PINK. Actually this Oleander is considered a *red* one, but it shows up more pink than red in the photo. The swaying of the branches in the wind is so beautiful. Their fragrance is wonderful, too. Along with a fig tree, I always like to have an Oleander and a Trumpet Vine in my yard.
Our Oleander is about 10 years old. I would love to never trim it so it would always be covered in blooms, but we would have to give up access to our backyard through a side gate. So far, it has survived all the North Texas winters, but it is on the south side of the house. The branches can also be annoying when brushing up against the screen at night. You have to get out early here in Texas before the wind picks up to catch the flowers semi-still.
