Bursting Buds, Batman! It's May!

After a decade of childhood, my anonymous, adolescent Magnolia is beginning to bloom.  Now I know it shall be off-white, just barely pink. 

Other buds look very promising there at the Cottage.  
Podophyllum peltatum, Mayapple
Kentucky Coffee Tree, Gymnocladus dioicus

Trillium erectum
Red Buckeye, Aesculus pavia 
Clematis ____
This ordinary Burning Bush is a bit spindly, but the buds along its little trunk show it is going to fill out nicely.  
Euonymus alatus
 

Happy May to one and all!

  1. Congratulations on your magnolia finally blooming. It's our favorite spring bloomer! Enjoy the beauty - it's our first glorious taste of spring around here.

    BTW, you can force the blooms indoors the same way that you force forsythia.
