This is the most wonderful time of the year as new growth appears. The jasmine takes on a bright green as the vines begin to grow again. The autumn fern, having stayed green throughout the winter, has new fronds which open with a beautiful copper color. Mondo stays darker green but shows that it is ready for the heat of the approaching summer. Ligularia leaves are fresh green and broaden, some to 8" or 10" in diameter. The live oak, having finally shed the old leaves, provides the shade that the plants need and we appreciate as temperatures steadily work their ways from 70s to 80s and then beyond.
All of this contributes to enjoying living life in Louisiana.
