I was relieved to see some activity on the Vitex Shoal Creek in Late March. The last photo I took of the Vitex on April 2 saw it just beginning to turn green. Six weeks later, it's now fully awake and is showing a bunch of blooms in waiting. I should be seeing a lot of blue flowers very soon.

This is a relief ! I moved this Pampas Grass plant three weeks ago, after which all the foliage turned brown. I cut it back hoping it was temporarily traumatized because of the move. Seeing new green growth makes me feel much better.

On the low end of the drama scale, the Husker Red Beardtongues are doing very well. And they have done so without any input from me.

Even though it's bent over because of all the rain we've had here lately, the remaining Super Blue Lavender has definitely recovered and is doing very well.

The drama-free Coronation Gold Yarrows also do their thing with no input from me. The combination of green foliage, yellow blooms, and fresh black mulch looks great !

I still have blooms on the Goldmound Spirea. I've been trying to kill the fire ants in hopes that the sad looking plant in the back will recover.

I've got a couple of flowers on the Happy Returns Daylilies. The local deer population has a tendency to snack on these plants. I should be ok as long as I keep them sprayed with repellent.

The Blue Dart Rush Grass plants around the pear tree have done well since I planted them in 2014. They continue to grow consistently and are now showing small leaves.

I haven't had a lot of luck with the Tiny Dessert Asiatic Lilies in the planters at the front porch. I think the local animal population likes to snack on them. But I still have one Asiatic Lily flower, which is fine.

And I definitely have one more Asiatic Lily flower in waiting. Maybe it will bloom before the deer get to it.
