April Roses

They're not blooming yet, but they sure are growing fast!

The blooming hedge!

Forsythia, Japanese Quince, and Russian Olive, all lined up in a row and blooming in April.

Bridal wreath

The bridal wreath blooms every spring, late in March or by early April.

Dragon's Blood sedum

This is a tiny sedum we planted in the top of this tall stump. By the end of summer, it will hang down all around the sides like a curtain.

Aloe from Sue

This is the aloe plant Sue gave me in April 2004. It has been repotted 3 times since then. Now, in April 2005, It really needs repotted again, and the babies need to be separated out. Keep in mind, this is a large pot, next to a large cat and a regular size push broom. Wait till you see it's next pot though!
