Here is a pic of a northern pecan tree I planted, last summer. They are relatively late budders, in the north, but can endure z6 minimums, even though considered a southern nut type. The variety is 'Surecrop', and it is a Type 2 pollination selection:

Check out these weird-looking mushrooms that came up in my yard. Any fungal enthusiastics, who can identify them?

What is the predominant color you see, in the pic below? "Non-zone 6 hardy" Lady Banks, eat your heart out, LOL! Meet the Japanese Marigold Bush AKA Japanese Rose, Kerria japonica 'Pleniflora'. Actually, like many other plants, this plant IS also related to roses. However, it is thornless. Unlike Lady Banks, this plant doesn't bloom, just once, in early season. It blooms sporadically, all season long...

A few days ago, I posted only ONE of my two Magnolia species, in bloom. This is my FOURTH species of Magnolia, to bloom, this season.
This Magnolia has the cultivar name of, 'Sunspire'. Its blooms have a butter yellow color, which contrasts nicely with the Japanese Marigold Bush, in the background, and the currently red, Drummondi Norway Maple in my next door neighbor's front yard:

Here is a pic of a Waggy (can anyone guess what plant I'm speaking of, by using a nickname?)I got from Plant Delights Nursery, two or 3 yrs ago, in a 3 inch pot. It is currently in a 2 gallon, and will be ready for a 3 gallon, this season..
