Love the statute, CC! Here's one of mine. That little flower is a Mexican petunia, but BEWARE, they reseed like crazy and become very invasive. LOL
Here is a magnolia for fsr...
Closeup.
One more.
And the star.
That's so pretty, Boojum. I've seen that one before but can't remember the name of it. It isn't like the magnolias I've grown up with, though. The ones my mom has are HUGE and stay green most of the time in our zone and have big white flowers on them in the spring and summer.
Oh I have that or the tag said it was a mexican Petunia but it looks nothing like that. Isn't that a hoot! I wonder what I got? Mine is tall purple green folliage and blue flowers and at this point looks black crunchy and dead!It froze,I think. Pretty pics Boojum but all yours are!I guess I'll have to jump on the Magnolia Train too!
Thanks cc. I tried posting more but DG wouldn't let me. That happens some nights if I do a series. When they don't appear I start getting paranoid-like I musta posted too many and I'm hogging the thread!
That white one's called a star magnolia. Don't know it's latin offhand. I'll try again to send the closeup again.
I'm not a hog, hooray! Here's what I did next on that day.
Ah here's the last magnolia shot.
Woops.
I could not post any i think thread is hot tonight and were all posting at once ??
BTW, nice statues! Is there a full shot of yours, Trunnels?
I guess I take everything MUCH too personally, Tazzy!
I'd love to have this Magnolia, if it's true to description (hardy to zone 5) ~ http://www.waysidegardens.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StoreCatalogDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10151&langId=-1&mainPage=prod2working&ItemId=47029&PrevMainPage=textsearchresults&OfferCode=R3H
Moby that is pretty.
Well. you guys I am hitting the hay. God bless you guys and good night
Celeste
Someday I'll have that Magnolia.
I believe you!! Post lots of photos!!
Me, too, Moby! I bookmarked that page. Says hardy zone 5 to 9. Oh, wow! Thanks for sharing that!
boojum, thanks so much for many beautiful pics! (clapping hands) I can almost smell the fragrance as I gaze at the blooms... takes me back a few years....
night, cc
The Iris and all the magnolias are sure making me hungery for Spring! Love the angel statue. I got a couple new little angels for Christmas that I'll have to get photos of. Now, since Moby tempted me,I'm going to have to go look at the Wayside Garden site.

wonderful day lilies that i forgot to write name down on tour of gardens in Columbia Mo.
more and i took lousy pic ,but color was good
I have a talent for cutting off top of pic,
once in a while I get it right ?
Love that first one!
Me too! Beautiful, Tazzy!
tazzy I really like #2! Bold!
I vote for #2, too. (too, to, two, tutu)
Gosh, you all sure are night owls. I forget about the time difference but you're still up a lot later than me!!!
CC I love the color combo of the rose & Clematis! Tazzy I love the DL in pic #1 so pretty! Everyone's magnolias are so pretty, I added 'Jayne' or 'Jane' this summer, it has a very pretty pink/purple bloom but I didn't take any pics : ( gotta do better this summer! A lot of people around here have a light pink one that everyone calls a "tulip magnolia" but they usually bloom early and then get hit by a hard frost and are soooo ugly. Jane is supposed to be a later bloomer, I hope so!
I'm out of pics that haven't been posted somewhere already but I do love looking at everyone's and getting ideas : )
Tazzy & Moby were up late....they're in my time zone! Wow, gals.....a bit o' insomnia?
Here's the magnolia I got this year. Didn't get it planted though as I was afraid to leave it out this winter as I received it rather late. It's in the basement in it's pot (I think I should pot it up to a larger size though) and under grow lights (well actually at the edge of them). I water it and turn it a half turn every few days to keep it from tilting towards the lights.
I *really* hope this thing is as hardy as advertised....hate to think of all the energy & time I'm putting in to keeping it alive. If it croaks next winter I'll cry. My mom has one here in town so I know they can live here. I'm not sure which one she has though and she's terrible about names....latin or otherwise.

How about another "smelly" one........ I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the peonies. Unknown white.
These have to be my favorites only because it combines the two loves - pets and gardening. (I couldn't pick just one, could I?) Notice the fence with the big dog (Shaq) since he loves to lie in the middle of any plants that aren't fenced. Doesn't matter if they're soft or shrubby! He's not picky.
White peonies are my favorite Brenda. Can't wait till it's time for the Spring things to start blooming. Here are the 2 garden fairies I got myself for Christmas. Right now they are sitting in my bathroom, but this summer I am going to cover a tree stump with moss and sit them there.
Here's a close up of the sleeping fairy.
wow, look what I miss when I'm sleeping! gardenapicsus prolificus!
I love the magnolias. so beautiful...sigh. The star is my favorite because it blooms so early, when the rest of the landscape is still not awake. I will get one someday if I can find room for it!
Wayside has a pale yellow one called sunsation, I think that is pretty and different.
Nice arrangement, too Boojum.
Is that called ikebana?
Tazzy I love the daylillies. can't pick a favorite.
Celeste, is that Amarylis xjohnsonii in your last pic??? I'm getting a little green around the edges as the envy creeps in...

And now, for daylilies.
