  1. Good morning! Nice GBBD post. It must be wonderful having that beautiful Magnolia tree blooming in your yard. A blooming Forsythia bush is one of my favorite spring sights. Can't help you with the name of your yellow flowering shrub, but I bet someone will have an answer for you. Enjoy your day.

    That magnolia tree is beautiful! I'd love to wake up and see all that pink,and I bet it smells nice too. The forsythia is also very pretty, love the nice yellow color.

  5. Your magnolia is beautiful! We had a large one in our front yard at our former house, and I do miss it. This has been the perfect spring for magnolias, too, with such warm weather. It's been a great spring for forsythias as well. Thanks for sharing your lovely blooms on this Bloom Day!

  6. What a gorgeous tree! I have a tiny Magnolia that I think has some buds forming, hope it'll look as pretty as yours one day. Not sure what the last shrub is, but it's really pretty.

  7. Hello there,
    Wonderful tree to treat us to.
    The shrub looks like it might be the double form of Kerria: K. flora plena. Nice shrub. Grows easily and flowers for about three weeks. I love mine.

  9. Hi Vetsy,
    That magnolia is beautiful! Thanks for teaching me something - I had no idea that magnolias grew any where but in the south.
    Enjoy your day.

  10. That looks like a Japanese magnolia to me. They bloom down here around February. Gorgeous! I've always wanted one.

    I don't know what the yellow flowers are either.

  14. Thank you Joy... The weather here in Michigan has been totally insane! 80 degrees one day and 40 the next! I'm going to need Arthritis medication to uncross my crossed fingers once the weather finally makes up it's mind!
