It's all shades of purple with orange accents up in here for this month's GBBD (hosted by May Dreams Gardens), starting with the star of the front yard: artichoke (and, yes, they do feel like koosh balls).
Curb strip Candystripe cosmos, from seed thrown out last year
Globe mallow just keeps trucking along
Creeping germander hasn't crept very far, but the blooms remind me of lavender
Passionvine
Mexican petunia, filling in with no help from me, per usual
End of the larkspur among the iris foliage
Heartleaf skullcap
Trumpet vine just started blooming yesterday
Not pictured, but just started blooming: magnolia, crepe myrtle and coral bean.
Happy spring, gardeners!

Lovely blooms! Especially the Passion vine!
Ah, purple! My favorite color. Your purple blooms are lovely and your trumpet vine is a bit ahead of mine. Beautiful garden. I enjoyed my visit.
Your Artichokes are beautiful! Makes me wish I had planted them;) Don't you love the smell of them? Your garden looks so pretty.
Those artichokes are so cool! Your larkspur amongst the iris has given me a good idea for next year. Happy spring!
You have a great variety this month. Your artichoke reminded me of my cardoon I lost this winter.
