Can Anyone Identify This Bloom?

OK, so no rain in the forecast for awhile. Andy and I have been miserable with sinus infections all week, but we are slowly recovering. So, it's time to regroup.




While taking a walk around the property, we noticed some of our fruit trees are starting to bloom. Most of them, we have NO IDEA what they are. This particular tree is putting out a pinkish/red bloom and it is just gorgeous! Can anyone tell me what it is?





My clover is not sprouting, and the rabbits have claimed my iceplant AND have started in on one of the birds of paradise plants as well. This is quite discouraging.


A friend told me about a ground cover called Lantana, it puts out some pretty flowers and apparently the rabbits hate it, so I guess I will give that a shot. There are a few others that are just GORGEOUS plants and not favorites of the cottontail rascals...check these out:


Veronica











Verbena









How terrible would it be to lace the property with these gorgeous flowers? I am thinking it would be pretty darned cool.


However, I am still scratching my head about the clover. It has not sprouted as of yet and our wedding date is closing in fast. What to do, what to do.


OK, I have much to do...today I am going to meet with an alterations lady to fix up my dress, and the house looks like a hurricane hit. Work, work, work!
