The Spring Planting Continues

Yesterday I planted all the plants that I ordered from Wellspring Gardens over the last few weeks. They include:

• Bay Laurel
• Dwarf Pomegranate
  
• Lemon Grass
• Dianthus
  
• Thai Ginger
• Texas Everbearing Fig
• Bottlebrush Plant
• Olive Tree (Olea europaea)

In addition to those I purchased some additional plants for around the fire pit at a local nursery. (The following photos were found with the help of Google...)

Dark Blue Plumbago


Purple Lantana (Lantana montevidensis)


Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa)


Pink Skullcap (Scutellaria)

Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips'

The ox blood lilies that I planted several weeks ago are taking nicely to their new home and the feral pigs have not discovered them yet...

Spring is certainly here because the Salvia greggii from last year is already in bloom, before I had a chance to cut them back...

And... I continue to research the pizza oven - there is a lot to learn! But, I have decided where to place it in the back so that it will both look good and not be affected by the nearly-constant Texas Hill Country breeze. I've been looking at a lot of designs on the Forno Bravo Forum and sketching out what I think I want to attempt to build.
