What's Blooming & New Terrarium

Clematis

 I was so excited that my Clematis bloomed this year. Last year it did nothing. I also had a different species of potted Phlox that bloomed.

 The beautiful glass terrarium came from an estate sale. I couldn't believe when the owner said ten dollars. The original price tag of $239 was still on it. The coleus is an experiment. I read that if you brought it indoors and put it in a south facing window that it would survive the winter. It did. My hopes are to turn it into a topiary like this one found at flickriver.com.

Daily Face: March 26th & 27th and Gardening

The sun came out yesterday and I was so busy playing in the dirt that I forgot to post a daily face portrait. However today the sun is not out, so I'm not rushing to get outside. My Camilla bloomed and I made a bouquet, I made a trellis out of some cables my husband was throwing out. I used Honeysuckle vines to tie them together. My favorite new plant called a Angelina Creeper. I purchased last year at an estate sale. It survived the winter and now it is beginning to creep again.
