OH! is right--wow, these are wonderful. What is Sweet Shrub--a bush? And does it get very big. I love the Japanese Sakura Cherry too...well, I love them all. Just not really familiar with those two. And I love azaleas but cannot get one to live...I think I have killed two. My neighbor always said I was lucky to get anything to grow here because an old Italian lived here that had the yard sitting full of lawn mowers and them leaking oil everywhere.

"..and the air was heavy with the perfume of magnolia blossoms." From Gone With The Wind, I think. One of my favorite scents, I miss it we don't have true southern magnolias here in the north.
They all are pretty blossoms.

Well, thank you Carletta, the blossoms are exquisite! And thanks for commenting at my chubby nude by Lucian Freud - I agree with you! Ha!

I thought for sure you'd have okra from your garden or a recent visit to Ohio! You always surprise me!

I love all the pictures. They are gorgeous, but I think my favorite pick for my yard would be Japanese Cherry because I've always wanted one!

Thank you for the flowers :)

Oh what lovely blooms indeed! Did you take them all in the same yard? What a treat for the senses that would be.
