I've had some daffys and this is what's left of them as of this past weekend.
My tulips are finally starting to bloom. My first 2.
My magnolia (rikki) as of this weekend. It's got more on it now so I've got to get a new pic.

The Magnolia is a beauty, is that a Hollyhock to the right of the Daffs?
Isn't is nice to have spring blooms at last?

Hello Tschnath...
Look at those flowers!  Things are coiming right along now, aren't they.
The daffs and magnolia are looking particularly good.
I hope that you will have a lot more to show as time goes on.

Thanks for taking the time to post your photographs for us. Your tulips and daffs a pretty but the star of the show has got to be your magnolia. My white once is almost finished flowering now but my burgandy red one has still to bloom. I wonder if I can find space in the garden to squeeze in a pink one like yours as I think it is beautiful.

Lovely blooms, I especially like your magnolia. Ours won't bloom this year, so I'm glad you're sharing yours.

Yes Toni, that is a hollyhock. It will be moved as it sort of set itself there. I'm always happy to find new plants that have seeded themselves but sometimes they need to be moved.
Eileen, I'd love to see that burgandy one in bloom, please be sure to post for us. The pink one I have is call 'rikki'. I really enjoy it each year.
Here's the magnolia today.
Thanks for all the comments. You all are so great!

I wonder if your "Rikki" is a relative to our "Susan". The blooms look very alike. "Rikki"'s even lovelier now with all the new blooms.

I'm not sure about that Droopy, but maybe you could post some pics of Susan so we could compare!

She's not blooming this year.  We had a very cold and wet summer last year, and the few buds she had got frozen during the last cold period. This photo is from last year:
Found another one too:
And I found a link to a site where the "Girls Magnolia" are described. Looks like ours are sisters.

Droopy, what beautiful blooms. Susan is be stunning. I'm sorry she had a tough year. Hopefully next year will be better and she'll be back. Maybe Rikki and Susan could be cousins? LOL!
