We planted tubs with bulbs in the autumn and these are Narcissus Double Inspiration
They are long-stemmed and these two were falling over so I cut them to enjoy indoors.
The magnolias rioting unlike the large Ilex which is normally in lime green buds by Easter.
The best view is from the balcony - they are so tall.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy neighbour has a magnolia in her front garden, it cheers me each time it blooms. :¬)

ReplyDeleteJust you wait!
Strictly speaking these magnolias belong to our neighbour but they are in our original garden which they chopped up - so I regard these as ours.
Beautiful trees. Looks like you were going to get some rain.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteRandall: we don't seem to have had rain for days - I'm actually watering.
ReplyDeleteQueenie: how about photos of your garden. I expect it's bigger than mine:)
Our magnolia is just bursting!
ReplyDeleteJohn.G: I know the feeling;)
ReplyDeleteAh, lovely daffs. What sort of magnolias are those? I planted a very small m. soulangiana last year and it's just coming into bud - a bit late, but it would be great to get some flowers on it in the first year.
ReplyDeleteGadjo: the nearest I can get is soulangeana - one pink , one white. I'm not good on names. I hope yours does flower this year - they are a joy.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely - you are so lucky to live with such beauty in your garden
ReplyDeletenursemyra: thank you. Time to go and sit in it:)
