Every passing week brings new flowers to Sage Garden Ecovillas.
The plum tree is blooming.
In the picture below you can see the emerging flowers of the Thai lime (foreground). In the background is a lavender bush, and on the far left edge of the frame, you might see a few of the baby fruits setting on the Washington navel orange.
Under the peach tree is a desert senna (right) and several self-seeded basil bushes that we have let flower. The mason bees don't mind that at all. I'm hoping some of them find our bee block nearby, so we can watch their lifecycle.
This year we sowed lupine (the native species) and vetch in several of our planted areas, and it's starting to flower. It's a shame to see these go, but it's time to chop them and let their bodies and root nodules do their job and enrich the soil. The vetch in this picture will feed its neighbor - a Fuji apple. We'll leave a few flowers to go to seed.
And the olives are putting on more flowers every day. I'm looking forward to this year's olive harvest.
Next up will be the moringas and the curry leaf (flower buds pictured on the right).
Check out the two preceding posts for more spring flower pics.
