February Flowers

this morning I went out to photograph the green leaves coming out all over the little peach tree and discovered flower buds about to open...

and then there are the Blanket Flowers, which have been blooming all winter this year...these grew from a drought tolerant wildflower seed mix that I brought from Colorado where they grew at 9000' elevation during the short mountain summers...I didn't know if they would tolerate the heat here, but no problem!  I gave them water once every two months last year...
