I awoke this morning to overcast skies and a little nip in the air. Dressed in my favorite walking boots and a lightweight jacket, I seized the opportunity for a photo walk through the gardens. The cloudy sky created the perfect natural lighting for photos.<\/p>\n

Spring is the time of the year where everything is budding and blooming at a rapid pace. In the March gardens, I never know what I will find from one day to the next.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

First Things First: What is a Garden Without Gardening Companions?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of our yellow cats, Kitkat (also known as HC), enjoys climbing in the dogwood tree and posing for me. Rescued from a shopping mall, it took a while for him to trust us. Now he follows me everywhere I go outside. His brother is the long hair that is very photogenic, and you will see pictures of him often. Both are beautiful cats who were a challenge to tame but well worth all the effort.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Dogwood Tree<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The dogwood tree is full of buds and blooms. One of the photos shows a bud as it is unfolding to look like the other blooms or does it just have its unique personality? It may be normal, but I have never noticed a dogwood bloom like this.<\/p>\n

Each year I wonder if our dogwood tree will make it another season. The trunk is hollow,\u00a0but\u00a0it is amazing to see all the blooms coming from this unlikely tree. I call it the \"Tree of Hope.\" If it can bloom and survive, anything can!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Hellebores<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Last year, friends gifted me clumps of Hellebores (Lenten Rose) when they divided their plants. The plants from the division are finally blooming. I was impatient, but it was worth the wait. The blooms are beautiful.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Clematis <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The clematis vine is one of the most faithful plants I have. Each year, it shows up overnight and blooms its heart out throughout the spring and summer seasons. This morning, a surprise bloom was waiting on me. It is one of those flowers, like so many, that beauty is also found in the details, up close and personal. When I look at a flower, it is a reminder to me of how much God cares about the details of our life.<\/p>\n

Clematis, one of the most faithful of the garden vines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Banana Shrub<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I wish you could smell the scent that fills the air around the beautiful evergreen banana shrub when it is in full bloom. The\u00a0fragrance is amazing.<\/p>\n

The first time I saw the banana shrub was in 2001 at the Eufaula Pilgrimage<\/a>. In the lower south, these shrubs grow into what looks like small trees. I planted mine in 2001, and it is now 15 to 20 feet high. With selective pruning through the years, it looks like a tree.<\/p>\n

Find one at your local garden shop, and you will enjoy it for years to come. I suggest getting the smallest size available for better success in pruning and shaping. The birds like to nest in its branches, and I have never noticed any pests that create problems for this shrub (in my case, tree).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Roses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before any of my other roses bloom, the knockout roses will put on a show of beautiful colors.<\/p>\n

Roses are a beautiful addition to any garden and landscape, but they keep me on my toes with all the pests that like them too. For the last week, my old-fashioned roses have sprouted leaves and buds, but the sawfly larvae have already found them. I should have sprayed them with Neem oil weeks ago. Learn more about Sawfly Larvae here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Knockout Rose is not pest free as we have been told. The Japanese Beetles will devour your roses overnight. It is a constant battle.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n

A Walk Through the Gardens<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I enjoy gardening but also love photography. Combining both is pure joy. Enjoy our gallery of today's Walk Through the Gardens photos.<\/p>\n
