My first hurdle in our new yard! Everyone that has come over to visit us has asked what this tree is and I had no idea. We finally figured it out today. The posters here at gardenstew were very helpful and friendly! Thank you all for the posts to my question. <br/> <br/>I have a Loblolly Bay Tree! <br/>You can see information about them here: <br/><a href="http://www.floridata.com/ref/G/gord_las.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.floridata.com/ref/G/gord_las.cfm</a> <br/> <br/>Here's the pictures of mine: <br/><img src="http://www.ohlook.net/px/tree2.jpg"/> <br/><img src="http://www.ohlook.net/px/flower2.jpg"/> <br/><img src="http://www.ohlook.net/px/hand.jpg"/> <br/> <br/>The flowers smell really nice. It seems to be a tree that grows best in coastal or wet areas such as swamps. I was so excited to find out the name of it! If I'm going to take care of the existing plants in this new yard of mine, I need to know what they are. :) <br/></span><br /> pamo The Mystery Tree - Identified! http://www.gardenstew.com/blog/e4405-2-the-mystery-tree---identified.html#leaveacomment 2008-06-24T18:30:31Z 2008-06-24T18:30:31Z http://www.gardenstew.com/blog/e4405-1-my-new-gardening-adventure.html Sun, 22 Jun 2008 16:36:54 -0400 http://www.gardenstew.com/blog/e4405-1-my-new-gardening-adventure.html Author: pamo<br /> Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2008 8:36 pm (GMT 0)<br /> <br /><span class="postbody"> Well, I am new here and not only that, gardening is new to me. I hope to have some time this summer to work on my new yard and possibly post the results here. We recently moved to a new home and it has a great yard that gives me lots of ideas. It needs some work but there are some things already in place that I just need to take care of. The problem is... I have never been really good at taking care of plants. I hope to change that, though. This yard could really shine if I could just get in the groove and learn how. If it works, I'll post some pictures and maybe this will turn into a new hobby for me. :) <br/> <br/>Pam</span><br /> pamo My New Gardening Adventure http://www.gardenstew.com/blog/e4405-1-my-new-gardening-adventure.html#leaveacomment 2008-06-22T20:36:54Z 2008-06-22T20:36:54Z
