They're back...

No you're not seeing double, there were three. 

We were greeted first thing this morning and it was a bit of a surprise; we haven't seen deer around since last fall.  Or any evidence of sad beheaded flowers.  Not yet anyway.

But we're at-the-ready--with the cages over here.  Aren't they lovely?  Though, once this area becomes more established I'll remove them.  Deer will browse just about anything that's tender, especially new plantings no matter how "deer-resistant" they claim to be.  Certain things tend to bitter-up naturally as they mature, like these nice rhododendrons and azaleas, so the deer will  should hopefully pass them by eventually. 

Keeping my fingers crossed just the same. 

We planted this bed last year, it's the main view from the kitchen window and I love looking out each day to see what's happening here.  Yellow and purple blooms appear now.   And our Harlequin Glory Bower ("peanut butter tree"), is budding for the first time!

What a nice bunch of visitors to have on Easter. We had a visitor in the form of a very noisy chubby frog, he was cute, but I would love to have deer in our yard. I have been walking around the yard trying to find a place to plant a glorybower- they are my favorite.
