Our twin magnolias
Perhaps at their peak today. Blooms open about the same time as forsythia but they don’t last nearly as long. Rain, wind, or frost often decimate them overnight. For years we’ve called them northern magnolia (to distinguish from the more popular evergreen southern magnolia), but their correct name is probably saucer magnolia. They were 1993 gifts from David and Wena.
A camellia morning
A fine spring morning
Trespassers still
Who me?
Sandy asked, “Who’s eating all the leaves off my cucumber vine?”
She also asked, “Who keeps digging holes in my fairy garden?”
That’s the Carolina Wren, owner of both the porch and the space under the porch. His call seems to be “Lucille! Lucille!”
Seen last month by the wildview camera in the badminton garden, a young fox maybe?
Bad weather coming
But magnolias April 6th:
Magnolias April 10th:
(Their petals were almost all on the ground after the rainfall April 15th.)
First full day of spring
