They're so lovely, Phillip! My neighbors' Saucer magnolia is in bloom just over the fence so I get to see the flowers and my podocarpus is mulched with pale pink petals.
Saw a tweet from Roger Ebert that today is the birthday of Jennifer Jones and immediately thought of you!
I'm having magnolia envy! Love looking at yours. Noticed today my Alabama Snow Wreath is leafing out! Can't wait to see it bloom.

Mine are a little behind yours. Just starting to break out. Fringe trees will be next. I have a meditation circle made with star magnolias around a sugar maple with a tulip magnolia at the head. Can't wait until they are large enough to really put on a show.
This really looks like spring to me Phillip. Simply beautiful. My Magnolia only has those fat fuzzy buds as yet. These photos make me anxious to see more.
So jealous that your Saucer Mag is already showing off. I have at least 1 more week! I have 2 and think my dogs my have killed one over the winter. We will see shortly!
Phillip I drove by your place to take a picture of the saucer magnolia at the old house on the corner of pine. I can't decide to post it or the one at Locust Hill on my next post on GRIT. Do you know the name of the home? I see you are still having problems with the trashy neighbor. Mary
Mary, are you referring to the big white house just up the street from me? That is Mapleton.
Affirmative on the neighbors, its just something that will never go away, unfortunately.

Yes, Mapleton, thanks. It something how you can go by something every work day and not remember a name on the sign. I got a nice picture of the tree with the house behind it. I wanted to take some pictures of my daffs to post on my blog, but every time I grab my camera and open the door it starts raining. I have trashy neighbors who can't take their fast food containers home up the road & dump them off the bridge over the dry creek. It either blows into my yard or gets caught in the tree roots along the creek or washes down to spring creek and to the river.

Love the rustic gazebo!
How can I tell what kind it is?
