You've got the loveliest lake there. That fern is incredably spring green, and the flowers are so pretty. I love that magnolia, which is it?

Oh Netty those daffs of yours are gorgeous.  Do you know their name by any chance as I'd love to add them to my collection? I bet those hyacinths smell fantastic. The blue and pink look really good together. Mine are just beginning to open now.

Sorry Droopy, but I don't know what kind of Magnolia that is. I was hoping a stewbie would be able to tell me! And the Daff's were dug out of the yard of an abandoned farmhouse years ago so I don't know their name either! Sorry!

Netty, I'm wondering about it being the M. sieboldii, but I can't see the flower center. Besides, it has less petals I think. I want a white magnolia, and the choices are either stellata or sieboldii.

Wow Netty, I do like your flowers better then mine. Although we've had spring for a few weeks, I still don't have any of my daffs blooming yet but it does look like I may have a tulip blooming any day. I do like the color of your daffs. Your hyacinths are looking very pretty together.

Great pics Netty. I love them all. And that magnolia...it's beautiful. Mine isn't ready yet, but I can see buds and they are coming.

Isn't spring grand. There is nothing more fragrant to me than hyacinths. I would have one to greet me every morning if I could. Thanks for the pics.
