I love Magnolias! Everytime I see one, I think of Steel Magnolias, one of my favorite movies!

Scrolling down through, I also spotted your panther on the prowl! I love panthers too!

I'd swap our grey sky for that blue one, Chico2. -1C this morning here , with a sheep weather alert warning for the entire week. Beautiful magnolias and stunning tulips, the pattern inside them is amazing. What a lovely yard for the cats to prowl in, your panther has his hunting face on. LOL.
Tell me, that Perriwinkle, is it a vine or just a small plant. I have a vine here whose flower looks very similar to that, though its leaves are variagated. If it is flowering I'll get a photo to show you. Never have found out what it is, it was here when we moved in.

Very pretty, chico, and well-guarded by your prowling panther. My daffodils finally bloomed, but everything else looks like it's stuck back in mid-April... Not even any buds!

Hazel,I just snapped those two Tulips because of the bright red,the Daffodils are bloming in the front,as well as some pretty pink Tulips.
Sorry your your Tulips are not out,but be patient,they will be soon.

GF,I consider the Perriwinkle almost a weed,it spreads like crazy,but it's good for hiding spots where nothing else grows,got one plant from a neighbor and it grew,and grew

Pretty soon you will not be able to see the soil in the flowergarded,everything survived again this year!!
I love the Magnolia too,but it's for such a short time,I also loved "Steel Magnolias"
