Taken in May at Brookgreen Gardens..... I usually go to SC in April and the Magnolias are not in bloom then (everything else is). I went later so I could attend my granddaughter's graduation so I was on hand to see these beautiful flowers in bloom.

Forcing Bulbs

OK, here's the story........I had some tulip bulbs left over last fall. What to do? I got a cheap plastic pot from the garage, I potted up the bulbs and left the pot in the garage over the winter. Last week I brought the frozen green pot in, watered it and put it in a sunny window. In less than a week shoots are started to appear...yea. We will see if they bloom. I used to do this all the time years ago but always used top sized bulbs not bulbs from Lowes. Will let you know if I have beautiful tulip blooming in February.

Meadowlark

Not a good picture but I was so happy to see this Meadowlark....first and only time that I've seen one. It was in a cornfield in Kansas, spotted first by my son. The highs of birding....this was one.

Overland Park Arboreteum, Kansas

Beautiful gardens even in winter

Bird blind off of the nature trail. I really enjoyed using this and getting some photos

Really surprised to see this guy under a bird feeder......OK to see him in nature, not so great having one in my garage.

Red Bordered Amaryllis

This is the Amaryllis that my daughter gave me......it is white with a red border. The other Amaryllis in bloom is white with a pink border. The two old plants that I have each have healthy leaves but no bloom stocks in sight. I have a pot of tulips waiting to come in from my garage.
