To fully understand just the significance of what you are about to see, may I ask you to take a trip back in time with me? Let's go back to February 2009. What a beautiful day that was in my gardens ... there was so much in bloom that I had to create a photo collage to show them all.
Not so today. The following photographs represent the sum total of what's blooming on my corner of Katy.

| Alyssum, Moss Pink Verbena, Violas, Leucojum, and Toadflax are dotted about the back garden. |
 |
| One Bluebonnet has bravely soldiered on despite the weather. |
 |
| Only the white Violas are blooming today: the white Dianthus and Cyclamen are taking a break. |
 |
| One stem of 'Homestead Purple' Verbena is blooming. |

| I'll add more Corsican Violets next fall. |
That's it. The Head Gardener is venting her frustration by ripping mushy succulents out of pots and composting them, muttering all the while. I'm steering clear of her today!

Our recent cold snap with harsh winds killed the blooming alyssum and even some bluebonnets.
But the Violas made it for both of us- Happy GBBD!
