Magnolias, Hydrangeas and Whirling Butterflies

The magnolias have just started to bloom. The cranesbill geraniums are lush.
The ligustrum hedge is full and fragrant.
Endless summer hydrangea are just beginning to show their color.

A beautiful magnolia specimen.

Buds are evident on the unique hydrangea

and the variegated hydrangea.

I love this flower, whirling butterfly gaura. It looks like it is dancing in the breeze.

It may look like black-eyed susans, but, this is yellow echinacea.

There are so many things blooming in the garden, it is difficult to keep up. Hope you enjoyed today's photos. Come see us again soon.

Pre Mother's Day Tour in Americus

This is the view from the veranda. The oakleaf hydrangea have an intoxicating perfume.Looking the other way, still on the veranda, the canna lilies are taking over the side yard.
You can see the iris, the daylilies, black-eyed susan's and the cannas.

From behind the stone arch, there are rozeanne geraniums with pink and yellow echinacea on the opposite side.

The oakleaf hydrangea, from the front of the house, appears to be overflowing with blooms.

Another view of the hydrangea against the veranda.

From the side yard, looking west towards the front, the parrotia tree has leafed out.
You can see the pecan tree on the right, the ruby lorapetalum left front, goldmound spirea towards the center and the huge azaleas to the left of the parrotia. In the far right corner, knock-out roses and little gem magnolias.

A closer look at the goldmound spirea shows how it got its name.
