That is a lovely palm, Jim. I thought to go out and get some pics in the fading light, but it's raining nicely now.
Stars of the show at this time of year are these faithful daylilies that jump into bloom on the north side of the house as soon as the sun gets high enough to hit them. My brugmansias have been blooming non-stop all winter.
The birdies "planted" this nice sunflower for me under the birdfeeder. Purple firespike is going crazy.
I planted new tomatoes "Mountain Magic" from seed in December, and they are already bearing. Eggplant 'Purple Rain' has been going since October, as has the very decorative Basil 'Cardinal' with big dark red flower heads.
Sunset shades in this funny little Kalanchoe, Callas finally putting on some blooms, and good old faithful plumbago, the best blue in the garden.
