While I had the chance I shot a few pics of the flowers that are beginning to come out in the garden.
Honesty is such a pretty shade and the flowers are very sweet. I love flowers that self seed and this one (Lunaria) pops up everywhere - so much so that it can be a nuisance, but such a pretty one.
We also have violets that self seed and spread. They really used to annoy my mother whose preferred garden style was bare earth and she was forever pulling them out. I love them and they grow prolifically under our trees and shrubs. At the very least they choke out all the nasty weeds.

ReplyDeleteLovely flowers, and a Magnolia, wow, it has a very nice colour.
ReplyDeleteI do love your Magnolia - such a pretty colour!
ReplyDeletePS: You asked about my dig: it's an English Cocker Spaniel.
I thought so. My parents had a lovely black one when I was tiny.
DeleteIncredible shots!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely and pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteWow! A showy Magnolia!
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous close up shot Liz. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love Lunaria too, it keeps self-seeding in my garden too, and even has an edible root and seeds that can be ground for mustard supposedly, though I haven't tried them. I just harvested a magnificent tall dry stem of seed pods to make "silver dollars". The magnolia is such a pretty cerise color, I can see why it attracts attention.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms!!! And thank you so much for linking with Today's Flowers. Their colors are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteExquisite flowers Liz!
ReplyDeleteI love violets, too, and leave them where they grow. Your magnolia is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteDelightful shots, Liz. Honesty flowers and seedpods are always fun to have in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in Floral Friday photos!
