Back to the Gardens.

7-5-20 SHORT HILLS: Judy said I didn’t post the best hydrangea picture from yesterday, so I will post it today. Also pictures from Anna in VT of our catalpa tree in bloom. But wait, there’s more—the third day of the souther magnolia flower, a new bud, and the seeds from last fall.

New blooms: catalpa tree [in VT].


Another hydrangea, with pollinator, the flower is different than the usual snowball.

Southern Magnolia, day three for the flower from yesterday. The petals will fall off, but that thing in the middle will make red seeds that will be ripe in the fall.

Southern Magnolia. That big bud is the next flower and will open in a few days.

Southern Magnolia, from last fall, the ripe seeds appearing.

The catalpa tree in VT in bloom, above and below. This is the first year it has bloomed. It will make long seed pods called 'cigars', but I think they look more like string beans.
