FMM - Boo-gainvillea No MoreEasy Weight Loss

You may remember my saga of my non-blooming bougainvillea from last year - the one I had didn't like most of the areas where I put it, and by the time I finally moved it to its happy place, it was nearly the end of summer and blooming season.  In the meantime, my neighbor across the street had a potted bougainvillea blooming like crazy near their mailbox, so that taunted me every day.  But this year, I bought a new plant, put it in a pretty pot, and started it out in our front yard.  And then about a week later we had that damaging hail storm, which tore it up something fierce.  But I'm happy to report that not only did it recover, it has literally blossomed into a gorgeous plant:

Yep, I'm just a little happy about this!  No more boo-gainvillea over here - we have a full-on beautiful bougainvillea this year!

The day lilies have come back beautifully, and the lantana, which was completely dead and gone, is growing like crazy, yay!  Considering the amount of neglect we've given the yard this spring, the front beds are looking pretty good.

 Yucca blooms going strong!

In the backyard, our pot plants are doing well - again, with nothing but a little water and a lot of neglect:

The sedum came back and is the biggest its been, ever.

Paco perusing purple peppers - this was another plant that sprouted from nothing.  Good to know this will come back after several hard freezes!

My New York hosta is looking gorgeous - thanks, Lori!

And this is our miracle - our Sago palm, which looked completely dead after so many hard freezes over the winter, is finally showing signs of life with this one sprout!  I was so happy to see this, as it was such a big beautiful palm, and it's nice to know it's still alive.

It's graduation weekend here for Texas A&M, which means that after our early morning run tomorrow and breakfast at Blue Baker, we'll be sheltering in place and avoiding the masses of people on the roads and in the restaurants.  A weekend home sounds good, actually - I have a lot of deep cleaning to do thanks to the renovation, and I can finally start putting some things away.  I'll have the next installment of the renovation update posted soon, but come back on Monday for a Very Special Post.

Have a great weekend!
