A bee playing with the magnolia leaf. Photo taken early morning at our (backyard) garden.

Magnolia

I like this flower. This is a picture of our japanese magnolia planted at the back yard. What I like about this plant is that the flowers (blooms) come out first, and when all the blooms die or after it blooms, leaves will then come out. All green. Notice the bald branches?

yellow rose

This is another rose found at our backyard. From my readings about rose colors and its traditional rose meanings, yellow roses indicate friendship and freedom -- so don't send them if your intentions are romantic and long-lasting. Yellow roses are also appropriate for sending congratulations to newlyweds, graduates, Texans, and new mothers.
