When Polwatch showed her photos, I took a look out front to see if the trees have any sign of spring. Not two days ago. Today some of the smaller trees have leaves growing. This 80 degree weather sure agrees with them.

They call them tulip trees or Japanese magnolias. They bloom before any leaves appear. They are a variety of magnolia....very slow growing. My first hummingbird has appeared! Spring is officially here. I bought some new ferns to put into several large, cast iron pots my husband cleaned & repainted for me. Just generally played in the yard.....

That a flower bed in the center of my back yard. I picked a large bouquet of daffodils, iris & hyacinths today.

I'm possessed by the devil again...I cut a couple of bouquets for the house. The large white flowers are amaryllis with purple & yellow iris. The small vase has a couple of varieties of camellias & a couple of the Japanese magnolia blooms.
