My magnolia tree is young yet – it hasn’t got the size it needs to be truly magnificent, but those blossoms are amazing, aren’t they?
I’m not actually certain what this is, but I’ll be photographing it all season, so I’ll figure it out when it gets bigger.
These are wild irises! We found them growing in our woods and transplanted them.
While not actually floral per se, this birch peeling ranks up there with the other sources of beauty, wouldn’t you say?
This little patch of wild violets took hold under the stone ledge off my front walkway. It’s very welcome there.
Finally, take a look at my redbud tree in bloom. When it’s done, the most gorgeous red leaves will appear. We were told not to get too attached when we planted this tree in our front garden, because apparently we weren’t in the perfect climate zone to ensure its survival. However, zones have been changed and we are no longer zone 5, but a more hospitable (at least for red bud trees) zone 6.
Yay, you’re having spring!
I do so love those pink magnolias.
I had a magnolia tree when I lived in Texas. I sure miss the scent of magnolias.
Thanks for the shout-out the other day in your follow-up post about the speeches your students gave. I wanted to email a thank you but I couldn’t find your email address.
those make me so happy, there are only varying shades of summer here
