Spring is here and the bluebonnets are in full bloom. Texas wildflowers are pleasing to the eye and nourishing for the soul. In addition to all the wildflowers blooming, and yet to blossom, my garden is coming alive with an abundance of green, fragrance, textures and color.
One of my favorite flowers, Poppies, open their unique faces in early Spring. These are Dorothy Poppies and some are flat and some are pom pom
Roses are another favoirte flower of mine. The light peach colored one is the incredibly fragrant Abraham Darby. A finicky rose but well worth planiting due to its beauty and unique perfume. I like to use Antique Roses that are red and pink with a strong fragrance and if they make hips too that’s an added bonus.
Crossvine and soon to bloom, Trumpet vine climb the fences that surround my garden. Thank you for visiting online and now come visit in person at The Austin School of Herbal Studies, take a class or two or three and enjoy this beauty first hand.

See you in the Garden, Ellen
