| I took these about two weeks ago, so the magnolias are gone and the winter honeysuckle is only a memory, but the fothergilla's in full bloom, the wisteria's in bud, and everything's putting out new leaves.
ahhh, spring!
Magnolia 'Lilliputian' in bloom:
Blueberry flowers:
Enjoy!

| That's great Jim! I have always liked the saucer magnolias and one of these days... one of these days! LOL I have to get out there and get some pics since most of my stuff is leafed or leafing out. |

| Hi Jim, How old are your blueberries? I purchased 3 varieties this year but they're tiny, although one of them has a bunch of little white flowers. What kind of magnolia is that? Any idea how big it'll get? |

| Jennie, Fair's fair, your pictures have forced me to try out stuff I wouldn't have considered otherwise . . .! Amaranthena, the larger one in the back is in its second year on the balcony, I'm hoping for decent berry set if I remember to water it enough, the little one came this spring from Oikos tree crops (great natives, great prices). The Lilliputian is a saucer magnolia, mag. x soulangiana, supposed to be smaller growing than other varieties, and to stop at about 10'; my main concern is how it will deal with eventual root pruning, but in its first spring in a container, it did just fine. Thanks! Jim |
