I don't think I'm brave enough to try it again until our water situation gets figured out (if). My neighbor's yellow magnolia is blooming and I enjoy it from afar. Can't wait to see yours burst into bloom!Gotta Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858358103234856020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-69771990642359035842008-04-05T19:10:00.000-07:002008-04-05T19:10:00.000-07:00Hi Kate,The species tulips are very early blooming...Hi Kate,<BR/>The species tulips are very early blooming and though small are quite lovely. <BR/><BR/>Some of the later blooming magnolias have an exquisite scent. The stellatas and Merrill are sweet smelling but too sickly sweet in my opinion. The yellow Butterflies is just about to open but I don't remember if they have a scent. Two new magnolias are getting ready to bloom too. A Magnolia x soulangiana 'Rustica Rubra' and a red flowered variety I can't remember the name of. I'll give them the sniff test and report back :)<BR/><BR/>I'm sure your brown garden will be suddenly transformed with the arrival of warm weather. I Look forward to seeing your unusual plants.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-53300576103928843402008-04-04T23:04:00.000-07:002008-04-04T23:04:00.000-07:00Your Magnolia pictures are beautiful - I'd love to...Your Magnolia pictures are beautiful - I'd love to be able to bury my nose in their scent. It is hard to imagine your garden being so far advanced when mine's still brown and covered in dead foliage from last year. One of these days ... by Sunday, we are supposed to have warmer temperatures. <BR/><BR/>I love those early-flowering tulips.kate smudgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10564410520744285676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-50596572714339256282008-04-04T06:33:00.000-07:002008-04-04T06:33:00.000-07:00Hi Les, love the photos you took of tulips.

The deer love to eat them though, actually deer love tulips period so that's the downside but a really nice and bright flower for the spring garden. I tried to buy more but I bought the wrong kind. Someone mentioned what it was last year but I didn't write it down and can't remember the name of it.

I thought it was "just" cute in the first picture, but seeing the whole grouping together looks like a bouquet out in the yard.

I would have liked to keep the magnolias as a set and tulips in another but it didn't work out. I'll keep at it and hopefully soon it will be slightly more coherent. As you say the picture of the plant/flower is the important element so I should be happy that I can post so many photos at one time. Thank for the nice comment.<BR/><BR/>----------------------------------<BR/>Hi Deemom, <BR/><BR/>Thank you. The Johnny jump ups are all volunteer and come up annually all around the house. We bought some of the commercially produced types but those weren't very hardy and soon perished so we just enjoy the volunteers. I guess I should try to like hyacinths better. After all they are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring.<BR/><BR/>---------------------------------<BR/>Hey Anthony,<BR/>Isn't that the truth. I'm glad there are a lot well informed people so they can share stuff that makes life easier. Thanks for the kind words.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695751.post-81099132475319377972008-04-02T12:42:00.000-07:002008-04-02T12:42:00.000-07:00Click and drag?!?
