The First Shrub To Bloom Each Year In Late Winter!

6d012ac594e05c8a

Flowering quince is in bloom!  It is one of my favorite shrubs. The scientific name is Chaenomeles japonica. Flowers are various shades of red, pink and white. It will grow in sun or shade but blooms better when planted in full sun.It is the first shrub to bloom each year.

I like to use this plant in cutting gardens or planted with an evergreen backdrop because it is deciduous. Flowering quince looks especially beautiful when cuttings are incorporated in an early spring indoor arrangement!

Arbors Create An Intimate Space!

This home is located on a lake with several acres in Mira Vista ~ Fort Worth, Texas. We needed to separate the two water areas which created an intimate setting to view the lake from one side and the pool from the other. We built a curved arbor  to the shape of the pool which ties the whole    landscape together so well.

Beautiful Arrangement!

     Cody and I spent the holiday in San Miguel with our friends Jerry and Pam. Jerry made this gorgeous perennial arrangement…he is so talented!
