MMMMmmmmmm. Yes indeed. I tried to pull out the LoV but they are back. Now that variegated one is gorgeous.

Yes, I suppose LoV are kinda weedy. I do hope this fancy one multiplies nicely, I will certainly make room for it.

We have a native magnolia, that is in full bloom and is incredibly fragrant!

some noid phlox growing in with amacrinum

oops sorry..that was Dichelostemma congestum 'Pink Diamond'

this is the phlox

and Acanthus Spinosus sending up a flower spike

Ah, I was thinking, "Doesn't look like any phlox I know." Love that magnolia! Do you know it's name?

Don't hold me to this, but I think it may be Magnolia virginiana (Sweetbay). It's very common here and grows wild. We have a few in the woods behind our yard.
