Annie in Austin
Welcome! As "Annie in Austin" I blog about gardening in Austin, TX with occasional looks back at our former gardens in Illinois. My husband Philo & I also make videos - some use garden images as background for my original songs, some capture Austin events & sometimes we share videos of birds in our garden. Come talk about gardens, movies, music, genealogy and Austin at the Transplantable Rose and listen to my original songs on YouTube. For an overview read Three Gardens, Twenty Years. Unless noted, these words and photos are my copyrighted work.

Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day for March

Carol of May Dreams Gardens has asked us to post what’s in bloom today, and thank heaven one of the previous owners planted spiraea in this yard.
The Texas Redbud is a sapling and the Texas Mountain Laurel is a tiny shrub, both displaying a few barely swelling buds, but the Spiraea has been here awhile, giving a little substance to the back border, with a few Thalia daffodils and some grape hyacinth.

The small Forest Pansy Redbud is now fully open.
And thank you, Carol for letting us post buds, or there would only be photos of the same Camellia, Coral Honeysuckle, Carolina Jessamine, and Meyer’s Lemon that appeared here recently.
This Loropetalum has been refreshed by the rain, and is ready to open.
Sometimes it's called Chinese Fringe Flower and I've also heard it called Raspberry Razzle Dazzle.
Under any name, I'm glad to have it.


Many Iris stalks are extended, with the petals just beginning to peek through.
These passalongs look pale blue now, but the flowers will be white. The bud at far left will bloom a fragrant light orange.

Finally, here’s a reason to mow high and to avoid weedkillers on the lawn – a little native Ten-petalled Anemone that appears early in spring
