I enjoy the look of the trees this time of year. And when spring comes again, the lovely shades of green make everything look different. I love plants against the stucco. My favorite combo is bougainvillea against a hot stucco wall/ramada.
That mountain mahogany is all green leaves, but they have a duller green in winter and are a little thinner...it is amazing to watch them fill in, ditto live oaks. Stucco...agreed. Bougainvillea...am jealous!
Yes, this lighting is amazing at times...soon the sun will be higher and so different in that space. Thanks:-) You all are so warm from the pic I saw from a blog just S of Atlanta...looks like April.
I used some primrose jasmine here on a college project, and it really looked nice last visit. I must use that plant some more. Deer non-attractant = very good!
Thanks. Ineptitude? Yeah right...me, it just burn-out from too much work, etc for almost 8 years straight! Just glad there are more meaningful things out there. (many think designing would be fun, but often not)
The light is magical.
ReplyDeleteYes, the light here is almost always doing something interesting! (except now, the storm and thick clouds are moving in from the W)

DeletePretty.
ReplyDeleteThe winter jasmine looks similar to our primrose jasmine. Deer don't like it...which makes it a favorite around here.

DeleteNice composition. I'm still struggling with ineptitude this winter. Maybe old timers. lol.
