It's been a weird spring. After a very slow start, we had tons of rain, then the mercury shot to 33C. Today it's 20C. For a closer look click on the pictures







Magnolia Victoria is ready to bloom in spite of some winter damage.













Magnolia Edith Bogue has less damage, but no buds yet.

















Magnolia DD Blanchard will bloom for the first time, which is strange because the winter was a bit longer and colder than last year.













Magnolia Brackens Brown Beauty was new last year, and it lost every leaf this winter. But it's making a comeback.











Yucca elata














Australian Tree Fern (which spends the winter inside)














Spotted Ligularia is a zone 7 plant that has done well here.
