In My Garden Today Posted by Alvin in Motown, z6 on July 2, 2025, 10:36 pm The first flowers of the season have opened, at the top of Mimosa tree, here. Last year's early spring allowed the tree to begin flowering a week or two sooner, than this year. I gave my NIGHT JASMINE, Cestrum nocturnum, a good haircut. This should allow it to bloom heavier, later in the summer. The scent on these are heavenly..just like a type of a woman's perfume. If you have not ever inhaled the scent of night jasmine, you are missing a treat for the nose. Someone asked a question about Loganberries. Well, they are starting to ripen, now. Here are two pics of a ripening berry, taken a few days apart. I ate it, after taking the second pic.
