Laura is out hunting fire auts in her yard.
Her wonderful Tulip tree.
Cheyenne and Chance playing and as they run Chance looks like she is hopping like a bunny rabbit. They love each other.

Very pretty Glenda, especially the plum and the quince. The tulip tree has beautiful blooms, except we call it 'Magnolia' in UK. Chance looks as if she is enjoying herself

I call it Pink Magnolia too.I think it is a lovely tree.That Quince is a cutting from my moms Quince many years ago so its one of my favorites but the Altheas were from hers too.

Lovely blooms!  Our magnolia is far from blooming, but in the meantime I can enjoy yours.

Can really tell that it is spring in your area! Thanks for sharing what will some day come this way...weary of winter, and waiting for rain.

Lovely to see some different colours to the spring bulbs. My garden isn't big enough for a magnolia, and it is on my Desert Island list for one day when we move to a house with a HUGE garden. Lovely blooms, and I notices short sleeves. Oh to feel the warmth on my skin.

Never too old to learn - me that is. I never knew that the Magnolia is also known as the Tulip tree. 
Lovely blooms on the trees.
