So none except the tenderest plants (like the basil) have died back. The kalanchoe, which won\u2019t survive a freeze, is blooming. I think this is the first time it since 2009. The duranta, Port St. John\u2019s creeper, and the Forsythia sage are still blooming on last year\u2019s growth. I really should cut the old stalks down as new growth is forming around the base. But I\u2019m not disciplined enough to cut down what few flowers remain in the garden.<\/p>\n<p>After a very dry fall 2012, we had a nice rain in January. New larkspur and cilantro sprouts have popped up and the struggling bluebonnets have put out growth. The flowering of the Mexican plums was very poor this year, the trees are leafing out without producing many flowers at all. The redbuds around town began blooming at the first of February. I saw my first Texas mountain laurel in flower (2\/16), on the SEU campus.<\/p>\n<p>I thought all the roses were budding out early. Most of them didn\u2019t even lose their leaves. However, looking at my post for last February, these same roses were all blooming. As usual.
