Milsurp After Hours

Well it is starting to spring into spring. I even have some azaleas blooming ahead of time by a couple or three weeks.

Obviously you're a gardener because you can not only name the plant but know when it blooms. My horticultural world is fairly simple, there being only two types of plants -
"Plants you mow around"
"Plants you mow over".
These obviously fit into the first group, just.

Actually....I'm no gardener either. The dark red flower is a Camellia. I've got white ones and pink ones and red ones. However, the pink flower in the middle is an Azalea. The house I'm living in had them planted in long before I moved into it. The Camellia's have been blooming for a few weeks now.

I did plant some bushes in recent years. Planted two pear trees in the fall. Be interested to see if they start back to life soon.

There is a third group - Those that the wife tells you to tidy up - we seem to have a lot of them

My wife is so afraid (paranoid) of bees that we never have had flowers in our yard, so I don't have to take care of them.
Good thing, because I don't know one flower from another.
And I don't have to mow my gravel yard, every time she mentions having a grass yard, I remind her that bees just LOVE grass yards, end of conversation.

My wife doesn't like bees either. But she particularly doesn't like birds. But she likes flowers and shrubbery and trees. Somehow she doesn't always connect all the dots.

A lot of the spring flowers are coming out here too, they added a nice splash of colour in todays sunshine.

My wife is the gardener every thing I touch just curls up and dies.
She does a good job.

We have clumps of them around the barn, beautiful

You guys have the killer bees down there, don't you?
