Blooming in Musashi's Garden!

I've been working in the garden.
Geraniums are in pots on the balcony.
Tomatoes are planted.
Green beans are coming up and Musashi's Garden is blooming.



DragonLady Trumpet Vine



The west fence is covered by this trumpet vine ... common name Dragon Lady!


Mosaic Musahi's Garden


Musashi's Garden smells like orange blossoms with all the small citrus trees blooming.


Musashi's Garden Mosaic


Red and white camellias, dianthus and blooming citrus.
The Japanese maple is bursting out as is the crape myrtle.

What fun! 

Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled week.

Mary is the wonderful hostess for Mosaic Monday.

Seasonal Sunday can be found at The Tablescaper.

  1. Just gorgeous! I have tried to grow Trumpet vine here but haven't had much success. I'm going to try again this year, but in a different spot. I'm in love with the colour.

  5. Beautiful mosaics, Snap. What a lovely place your garden must be. My mother's favorite scent (and one of mine) was that of Orange Blossom; I can't think of the fragrance without thinking of her.

    Wishing you a joy-filled week, as well. {{{Snap}}}
