Beautiful Betty (Magnolia)

magnolia
Taken a few days ago just as the blooms on the magnolia fully opened. This is the first year the tree has been covered uniformly with blooms. The tree is young and I've moved it about a few times so I think this is its reward to me for my leaving it alone after finding the perfect spot.

Tulip after hail storm
by Debbie Bellinger
(Osgoode Ont)
This was taken the morning after a hail storm. Most of my tulips survived and I assume it was because the storm occurred in the evening and the tulips were closed for the night. We still had hail on the ground the following afternoon.

Trillium
by Barb Renz
(Fort Wayne, Indiana)
Trillium
When we moved to our house here in Northeast Indiana, there was this lovely bed of lilies of the valley. In the center was a vast clump of trillium and after living here 37 years, the lilies have indeed choked out the large trillium group, but bravely sends out other plants dotted here and there throughout the lilies of the valley. This same "wildflower" garden has grown itself some bloodroot, shooting stars, wild stonecrop, violets of varying colors, and stars of Bethlehem. I pretty much let things go their own way, and I love the resulting surprises!

Wildflower Garden

Wildflower Garden
This self-sustaining wildflower garden has been fun to watch for the 37 years we have lived in our home in Northeast Indiana. The garden is very old and when we moved there, the trillium was a vast clump. The garden, which contains lilies of the valley, stars of Bethlehem, shooting stars, violets, bloodroot, Jacob's ladder, wood poppies, and wild stonecrop, changes itself yearly, and it's always fun to see what it "comes up" with!!!
