Below are some pictures I took of my apartment garden long ago. I am so thankful I have a home and don't have to worry about watering all those pots every day in the summer!
My Plumbago...one of my favorite plants that survives the Texas heat! Plus I love the color blue. Thanks to Mike who took the really cool photos.
And of course, what kind of Texan would I be without cacti and succulents in my collection.
Here are just a collage of some flowers that I liked and was playing with the new zoom lens we'd just got for the camera...
