Open Mouth, Insert Foot!

Well as you may remember back in January Heith planted this new tree in our front yard called a Jackaranda. Which is supposed to produce these beautiful purple flowers once it is in bloom. Here is the original photo.
About a month after it was planted every leaf fell off of it. It litterally looked completely dead and not going to come back. I pretty much told Heith about once a week babe, I really think it is dead, maybe we should take it back to the nursery and ask them. Heith kept saying its not dead, it is fine, don't worry about it, this is not the season it blooms. I said but look at it there is nothing left on it, how can it be alive. He still insisted to just let it go. So I did and months have gone by and nothing really changed til about 2 weeks ago. We saw a little bit of green starting to grow back on the tips. Then we got back from the Bahamas and tada...... look at it now!

The beautiful purple flowers have bloomed and it has quite a bit of green on it. It is so pretty! Sorry I didn't trust you Heith. I love this tree! I also love how the back yard and front yard are turning out with all your new ideas. Thanks for working so hard it looks awesome!
