Flowers and Shrubs
 |
| Prentiss county, Mississippi, USA |
I've had lots of daffodil blooms in various combinations of yellow, orange, and white, but I think this one, Tahiti, is the prettiest.
 |
| Flowering Almond |
This Flowering Almond is full of tiny blooms. My mother called these small shrubs Rosy Almond, and I think of her especially in the Spring when it is blooming.
 |
| Flowering Quince |
Flowering Quince is another Spring blooming shrub.
This small tree is known as Tulip Magnolia or Saucer Magnolia. Many hybrids have been developed with bloom colors ranging from a deep, dark pink to a pale, cream color.
Vegetables
I did not plant a Fall/Winter vegetable garden, but I have started Spring planting.
With 40 onion bulbs I am planting 10 at a time with 2 weeks between each planting. That will spread out the harvest so we will not have more onions than we can use at any one time. Also I have potatoes chitting that will be ready to plant soon.
Happy Gardening!

Your flowers and blossoms are very pretty. Not much happening here, everything is still brown..Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers. That daffodil is lovely, I wondered if the flowers are so heavy that the stems bend, seen that on some here
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful flowers! This tulip magnolia has an amazing color!
ReplyDeleteI don't plant a garden anymore, but I definitely remember getting the sets for onions and other items. Texas is an unusual state to grow veggies...better in the early spring or later in the fall.
ReplyDeleteSome wonderful photos, I do like the flowering Almond.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog.
Oh, your flowering almonds are very pretty, I have never seen them before. And I absolutely love magnolias, I have a tulip one too, I think they are the prettiest, min is called ‘Heaven Scent’. Happy GBBD!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms Lea. The flowering almond is a new one on me, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous. :)

Not only is Tahiti a beauty, the spicy fragrance is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteMagnolias have 'watermelon' fragrance. I'm all about plants that smell good as well as look good.
It's good to have a few blooms this time of year. I've never thought of staggering my onion plantings. I do pick them at different sizes, though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers -- my favorite is the top one. Finally starting to see some blooming here!
