Warming spring weather is stimulating new growth among vegetation that was dormant or shabby through this winter.
1. Rosa spp., rose started growing even before the weather became warmer. It is good to see that squirrels are not eating the new growth. I do not know what cultivar this one is.
2. Hydrangea macrophylla, hydrangea, which is also unidentified, also started growing while the weather was still cool and rainy. It is now settling in after bare root relocation.
3. Nephrolepis cordifolia, sword fern, like many ferns, is beginning to replace old foliage with new foliage. It grew too large for its pot years ago, but somehow continues to grow.
4. Clivia miniata, Kaffir lily has been maturing slowly for more than a year, but is finally providing a pup. It is variegated with yellow stripes, but I do not know what cultivar it is.
5. Brugmansia X cubensis ‘Charles Grimaldi’ angel’s trumpet is producing a new flower as readily as it produces new foliage. It should be no surprise. it is rarely without bloom.
6. Musa acuminata X balbisiana ‘Golden Rhino Horn’ banana starts to produce its new foliage about the time we consider taking it out of the landscape because it is so shabby.

Well, winter was fun also. We tend to appreciate rainy weather in a chaparral climate.

It is inevitable. Technically, it is not spring here either yet.

Our winter was not so bad until recently, when it got rainy and unusually cool for quite a while prior to these pictures. It is like spring now.

That Sword Fern is lovely. All your plants look lush, healthy, and happy.

We were supposed to split that fern into quarters a few years ago, but never got around to it. I really do not know what to do with it now. It is huge!

Everything looks like it’s really healthy and green! I will be curious about how the Kaffir lily flowers because I don’t know this plant yet.

That is still a sore subject with this Kaffir lily. It started blooming with a big truss last year, but someone broke the truss off before the first bud opened. I hope no one picks the flowers this year.

Oh no, that sounds so frustrating! Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again.
