Sowing the Seeds

I have been away from my blog for far too long…

My busy life has prevented me from posting as much as I would like.  You see, it is now Spring here and because I am involved in the garden industry my life becomes very chaotic.

Anyway, nothing like a beautiful scent of rose or magical flowering magnolia to stop me in my tracks!

Here is a gorgeous specimen in my mother’s garden.

The buds were lucky to survive on the bush this year, because last year the cockatoos chewed them all off!

And just outside my bedroom window is my ever pretty Star Magnolia.

We also have another new magnolia in the garden, just planted. It is called ‘Star Wars’ and has huge dark pink flowers, so looking forward to seeing that one out next Spring. The kids gave it to their dad for a fathers day gift. Very appropriate really seeing as my 4 yo boy is just MAD about Star Wars!
