yard stuff

There's not too much happening in the yard these days other than plants freezing and wilting. Below are a few notable plants from happier days aka 1-2 months ago. Both plants originate from my Grandmother's yard.

Four o'clock flower (Mirabilis jalapa) found a home in the ivy



Angel's Trumpet (Brugmansia)

note: the blooms come out at night, so it was pitch dark
out when I took these 2 shots
hooray for the first bloom!
We had a lot of buds after this first bloom, but none actually bloomed due to a frost a few weeks ago. Oh well - there's always next year!
