Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.Hey WC! Your Koi are awesome! You have them inside, are you going to put in a backyard pond? I got two large Koi and put them into my pond, and both, while spawning in the springtime, did backflips and flipped their way out to be found later 🙁 They were about 2-3 foot long! So then I just got tiny goldfish that all grow into huge 12-18″ long fish, they winter over here in IL and I don’t have to bring them inside! 🙂 I am lazy like that LOL Oh and your crocus are very pretty, don’t last long enough do they!
Hi daydreamer – You ARE a Fairy, I knew it I knew it!! You have all the flowers that attract faeries to the garden 😉 Beautiful, I too love poppies and columbines and have those adirondack chairs, in green and tan……and LOVE them, those look great! I suppose a little metal set will look nice too LOL Your fountain is beautiful, as is that little sprite of yours!
bodine, your pink Azaleas are awesome, and I already said to you that I had no idea you could start one from a branch! I do that with our yellow forsythias, just stick the end of a branch into the ground and it’ll root; is that how you start your Azalias or do you put a branch into water?? My azalea here is purple, and it blooms for less than a week!
Kalandra I LOVE YOUR SPIDER roflmao – that is the funkiest spider I have ever seen in my life – and I thought those spikes were it’s legs (more like a little crab or something) but it has legs UNDER those spikes, geeze the insect/animal kingdom is truley amazing isn’t it!! Freaky little guy and it has lots of pesky bugs in its web (yay!). oh yeah, your Pink flowers are PERTY lol but I was too distracted by the spider!!! Melody should make that spider, a real tiny little thing – everyone could afford one!!! LOL

It was about 3 ft high and 3 little twigs no bigger than half an inch thick at the base of each twig when I planted it 8 years ago. It’s about 20-25 ft tall now. It blooms every year in early spring, and then sometimes it does it again a few months later. It fits right in with the rest of the family…A little off enter of normal. 😀
Magnolia?Really?Pink? Different than we have down here,they are white with big,fat dark green leaves.I will get a good pic of one down the road that has been cared for very well when it blooms.
Poems,yep,either way works.I like to bend a branch down to the ground,put part of the stem under a little dirt and set something heavy on it to keep it down.Water everyday and in a few weeks it will have little spider roots on it.There you go.Break it off and plant it,water and feed it. 🙂Every act matters.No matter how small💞

Male Hearth....one day🤞Dream on.Oh good! I’m not the only one confused to see a pink magnolia. I’m used the the magnolias that have the big, waxy looking dark green leaves and creamy white flowers as well. Like this.
Well, I bought some bulbs that were labeled as Day Lilies and when they sprouted this spring, they sure were NOT Day Lilies….I was told they are Lilies…anyways, thay are pretty!

I believe those are Asiatic Lilies. I bought some of them last year.

Also known as Star Gazer Lilies. 😀 I have pink and red ones!pegasi1978 wrote:Oh good! I’m not the only one confused to see a pink magnolia. I’m used the the magnolias that have the big, waxy looking dark green leaves and creamy white flowers as well. Like this.
I have NEVER seen a Magnolia like that! I LOVE IT! I want one of those too! 😮 Acutally, I don’t know that they would live up here if they are used to your temps down south. Mine is a Merrill (It loses every leaf in the winter). I don’t know what genus yours are down south, but there are many different strains of Magnolia. I’d like to get an O’Neill strain too one day. If you search those two names with magnolia behind them, they will show pics of each type. Pretty cool, I had an Azeala that looks like the pic you posted Pegasi! 🙂

Thanks! I love Sonny! Yeah, they are inside for now…125 gallon tank, so no problem. We are going to build the pond ourselves. I have it all drawn up and know what I will need. I want it 3ft deep, so there is plenty good chance for the fish to get away from predators. We have alot of cats and coons around here. I don’t want to feed any of them my babies for a meal. I figure what I will do is as I find koi I like add them to the tank, let them get 6 to 9 inches in length before I put them out into the pond. Hoping to get the hole and whatnot dug this summer/fall. Fill it and let it sit all winter to age. Fire it up in the spring. 🙂
We have the Magnolia Trees that WSC has! I hope to plant a hummingbird garden here soon, so I hope to have some pictures up for you!!

Oh those are pretty. Too bad I don’t have a green thumb, I’d love some in my front flower beds.

The Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) is pretty cool. Keeps most of it’s leaves in the winter too. Did you mean Azalea? Azalea flowers are much smaller than Southern Magnolia flowers. I’m such a bad gardener that I can’t even keep azaleas alive. 😀
