    My absolute favorite, Spicebush. These tiny blooms have a great clove scent.

    Isn't it grand to have all those 'pretties' in the garden again. They are so welcome after the drab winter months. My hawthorne has never bloomed. :( Maybe this year as the flowers on yours are really lovely.

    Wonderful pictures Bethie.
    Spicebush and Witch Hazel are on my long list of plants to get and I have an almost empty front yard just waiting for them.

    Very nicely framed pictures, like something I would see on a set of stationery! And look at all those magnolia petals - lovely shot of them.

    Wonderful plants Bethie. I have 2 glorious days off coming up and will spend them, except Sunday morning, in the yard.

    I just bought a Creeping Jenny on Wednesday and planted it in a hanging basket on Thursday. I had never seen one either and really liked it. Now, I see there are little roots along the stems. Should I have planted it in the ground? The tag said good for hanging baskets. Dooley

    Dooley either way is great for this plant. It can be a "bit of a thug" under ideal ground conditions but I don't mind because it is so lovely. Good luck with yours. 8)

    I have a creeping jenny that creeps all over. I had it several years ad really like it so I just pull out the ones that creep too much.

    So much colour in March! A joy. The magnolias in our neighbourhood have now all lost their petals thanks to the strong artic winds we have had blowing though this weekend.
