Weekend at the Farm- April 27 - 28, 2013

Above, pink salvia greggii.
We had a party on Saturday.  William cooked 180 pounds of crawfish. Lots of people.  We had a good day.
Sunday I planted several plants that I received as gifts.  I washed a mountain of dishes and swept small mountains of dirt off the floor.  We laid by the pool for several hours then left for home.

Above, the La Marne hedge roses looked very showy this weekend.

Above, verbena bonariensis.  VB gets very tall.  It makes gorgeous puple flowers that are loved passionately by the butterflies.  It goes to seed if you let the seed heads turn brown..  It will pop up everywhere.

Above, giant ligularia.  Dramatic shade lover.

Above, poppy bloom. 

Above, Mexican feather grass.  One of my favorite plants.
