{Our Southern Magnolia and Hibiscus}

Rain was certainly a blessing for our huge Southern Magnolia and Hibiscus syriacus Jeanne d'Arc. They looked so happy here, on this photo from May 29. Below this post you find a link to some previous posts about either one of them. 
Love the lush green color after such much needed rain!
Here are the two Hibiscus syriacus Jeanne d'Arc and on the foreground is also the Gardenia jasminoides 'Radicans' blooming. Only white blossoms here at the front of the house. 
Now you can see the Southern Magnolia, it is huge and literally 'sits' on the ground...
Here you see also the taller Hibiscus syriacus Jeanne d'Arc.
They are so pretty with their double blossoms.
In the link below you will get to see a closeup.
The white vinyl picket fence is the border with our neighbors.
This is just a short post, for letting you peak inside our front garden.
While we were in Florida on our 6-day trip, we again had lots of rain.

  1. Hi Mariette,

    Your garden is beautiful and loved seeing the pretty Magnolia and Hibiscus.
    Isn't it great to have a much needed shower of rain to make everything look green and healthy.

    Hope you are enjoying the week
    Hugs

  2. Dear Friend,
    Such a beautiful site your garden and to view your gorgeous Southern Magnolia. I have seen them here sit on the ground too. Ours was that big before a storm broke her trunk. We still have one left and love it.
    Thank you for sharing such beauty and thank you for stopping by with your kind words for our Miss B. You always bless me with your visits. I am doing a bit better and trying to move forward in the new season.
    Love to you,
    CMD

  4. Dearest Mariette your front gardens are most lovely! The Magnolia is breathe taking and equally are your Hibiscus. the care, love and hard work you and Pieter put into giving Mother Nature a helping hand is clear in your gorgeous gardens. So happy that you got some rain... we are thankful that we are able to water our gardens from the stream water (as we are on well water) and we officially are in the midst of a heat wave ... 32-36 degree C. feeling more like 40 -48 ...with the humidity.
    Sending you both and your furbabies lots of love and hugs from across the miles, xo C. (HHL)

  7. Lovely, refreshing rain! Everything does look so green and beautiful afterwards. That magnolia is amazing. I've not seen one sweeping the ground like that before. I'm from Mississippi where magnolia is the state flower. :) Best wishes to you, Tammy

    We can see our type of Magnolia (white and pink) here in Japan. But especially, I'd love to see your lovely Hibiscus. I have visited your link and they are also GORGEOUS♪♪♪

    I hope it is not too hot to take care of your splendid garden yet.

  15. Hej Mariëtte, ook met regen prachtige foto's van je tuin, of beter gezegd park. Wat fijn om in zo'n heerlijke omgeving te wonen.
    Fijne dag, lieve groet

  16. Hi Mariette your garden is so beautiful! I love your southern magnolia and it does look like sitting on the ground :-)

  17. Liebe Mariette, dein Garten ist wirklich eine Pracht - und nach dem Regen sieht ja immer alles noch viel schöner aus! (Bei uns hat es auch gerade wieder zu regnen begonnen, nach einem sonnigen, warmen Tag!)
    Ich möchte dir auch danken wegen deines Tipps bezüglich Link Within. Ich habe mich jetzt eine halbe Stunde damit beschäftigt, aber bei mir funktioniert es leider nicht so wie bei dir beschrieben, es öffnen sich auch Seiten, die anders aussehen als auf deinem Muster. Macht aber nichts, ich bin auch mit drei Thumbnails unter meinen Posts ganz zufrieden... :o)
    Ich schick dir die allerliebsten rostrosigen Wochenend-Grüße!
    Herzlichst, Traude

  18. Prachtige foto's van jullie Magnolia Mariette. Wat moet het toch heerlijk zijn om zo'n grote tuin te hebben met zoveel mooie en bijzondere planten er in.

    Op het moment ook flinke regen en onweer in Nederland. De zomer wil maar niet doorzetten. Hopelijk is de volgende maand wat beter.

    Alvast een fijn weekend gewenst!

  23. Dearest Mariette,
    Your Southern Magnolia is so pretty and lush. Alas, we don't have a magnolia on our grounds. We had to cut ours down. That is fodder for a post in the future.
    All of your Hybiscus blossoms are lovely. I like the idea of white for the front garden.
    Blessings to you and Pieter,
    Ginger
