Feijoa in bloom

May 4th, 2014|Garden|

Feijoa (aka pineapple guava or guavasteen) isn't really a guava at all. It blooms mid-spring and drops like 9 tons of fruit in early fall. This time of year I see whole flocks of mockingbirds and orioles feasting on the blossoms.

Pink Water Lillies

I started these in a four inch pot in my pond about six years ago. The plant's rhizomes are now thicker that a tree trunk so I have to chop them back every year. No matter how much I chop off though, they always seem to come back in force.

Pansies

One of the kids got a seed packet of pansies (or "Alice in Wonderland flowers" as my wife refers to them) last year. I threw them in a pot and didn't think about them much for the past 9 months. Now they're blooming like there's no tomorrow.
