with you all!
OK OK It is not a brug........but I want to share my spring
I go past this tree every day when I go to work........Friday I took my camera and took some pictures at lunch.........so pretty!
Fabulous!
Very pretty, Kell! Great tree!
Do you know what kind it is?
Kell,Mama just jumped on a plane for your country,I'm bummin I didn't squeeze in the carry on!
Hey guys....... you jumped in before the rest of my show......LOL. I guess you are all hungry for spring! LOL
these are all over
my fav............LOL......at least for this minute!
Absolutely gorgeous pictures! We all certainly needed that "shot in the arm of Springtime"!
Abutilon, it's a magnolia, I don't know which species.
kell, that is not fair! We ALL want to have spring!
Kell that is beautiful! I thought it was a Magnolia until I saw the close up then thought it was something else. LOL My neighbor has one of the huge saucer types. All the trees here are naked!!
Beautiful tree Kell.
That is a Magnolia soulangeana. People here call it a Tulip tree or Tulip Magnolia. It's also called a Saucer Magnolia.
They are starting to bloom here too. I saw the first one driving home from work Friday.
Kell, aren't we fortunate to be able to enjoy seeing
beautiful blooming plants and tree's in the dead of winter.

Nice pictures Kell.
My Magnolia soulangeana has all of one flower on it right now. I did see a lot of these trees blooming in New Orleans when I was there on Saturday.
Beautiful tree. Bet it wouldn't look so pretty here right now. At least the sun is shinning. Hope the snow is gone from the East Coast soon. Feel for anyone that has to put up with the cold and snow when we could live in a place like Kell and have beautiful flowers most of the year.
Badseed I think you are also right. The next set of photos look like a flowering cherry? Kell?
I didn't enlarge the last photos. I see now that the last 3 is of a different tree. I don't think I have seen it around here. What is it?
Evidently it is one we can't grow here in Ohio, as I have never seen anything like it. Magnolia, Crabapple, Cherry blossoms. I have all of those and it doesn't look like any of mine.
Beautiful, thanks for posting, for us spring starved people!
Kell, we need to know LOL!!!
That's a Cherry Blossom Tree (Prunus)! There's many wonderful hybrids and species and lots have lovely Cherry tree type bark on their trunks too!
Kell, in a few weeks it'll be snowing pink petals..LOL
Yes, the first one is a magnolia and the second tree is a double cherry which is my favorite flowering fruit tree which must be ornamental for it never bears cherries. Though do cherries need another type of cherry to pollinate it to bear fruit?
Cool I was right!LOL! I hated ID in school. All of a sudden it just clicks.
Some cherries are selfed, others need a pollinator, I hear that the selfers crop is bigger with a pollinator.
I knew it!! I just knew, someone was hoggin' all the Spring!! Beautiful..............how I would love a couple of Cherry Trees! I have a dwarf, hope it makes it!
"eyes"
Kell its wonderful to see pictures showing the emergence of spring, especially for those of us still shovelling snow.
Ornamental cherry trees dont bear fruits. Wild cherry trees will. We must wait until May before the wild cherry trees around our property will bloom, sigh!
Well, I'm about to have daffodils...does that count? No flowering fruit here for at least another month.
everything counts at this point Judith!!!
