Spring revival

Today was "fertilize the roses" day, and someflowers.  I'm pleased with most of the growth so far, especially the climbers on the arbor in the back yard.  For the first year (out of three), not much long-stem growth appeared, but now the plant is quite leggy.  I hope it gets to the top this summer.

I also have been watching the slow re-emergence of the dwarf bougainvilleas, which looked pretty bleak after the long, cold winter. Until this month only green growth was evident.  They anchor quite a few gardens around the house.  And now the plants in the pool garden, which are under a screen and tend to bloom later, are showing their colors.  Below is the bougainvillea in the pool garden.
