While we were driving down the mountain we noticed some lovely redbud trees, and i mentioned that i would like to plant them as well as some flowering dogwood when we find what will be Our Farm. He mentioned the bradford pear as well, and the flowering cherry. I told him about how theresa was astonished that easter colors are all over the place at eastertime -- until she moved here (from vermont), she had never seen a purple tree before. I also like flowering magnolia trees, and other simply pretty things.
We saw a really neat tree that i don't know the name of. I started looking online for it and haven't found it yet, but have found neat articles on conservation and coffee, how to plan a botanical garden, and some great images from the online Modern Herbal. Who knew?
