The purple Hardenbergia is blooming now. I love the trail of purple climbing up the wall!
This year is the first time the Hardenbergia vine has attracted bees. I had planned the courtyard garden so that minimal flowers would bloom in the spring and summer. I didn’t want the courtyard and front door to be swarming with bees. Usually, everything stops blooming before the buzzing bugs come along. Maybe it’s from all the rain we’re having in Roseville this winter.
Even though we have bees now, I like how the purple and pink flowers mix with the blue containers and Mexican beach pebbles–very pretty!
My favorite Camellia bush is in bloom! The Azaleas and Cyclamen are also in bloom. This time of year, the courtyard garden is full of pink and purple.
Our courtyard looks the best in fall and winter. The color of the Japanese Maples in the fall is beautiful! In the winter, the Camellias, Azaleas, and Cyclamen bloom. I think I may decorate the Thujus with Christmas ornaments this year.
