I wish those birds would appear in my yard - scandal or otherwise!:-) I'm down to the doves, grackles and parrots.<br /><br />I can absolutely relate. My neighbor has these really ugly ratty "orchid trees" in his yard. But in January and February they are totally covered in the loveliest white blooms. Which turn into these terribly invasive bean pods that turn almost instantaneously into more ratty orchid trees!<br /><br />Do stop by if you get the chance!RJ Flamingohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377223115428239674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641867746157798839.post-62592595012986506362009-05-22T20:40:06.978-05:002009-05-22T20:40:06.978-05:00Oh welcome to Nature Notes Miss.

It doesn't have the suckers crabs normally get but your flowers look very much like mine did.

Tell Miss B to send them my way and I'll be sure to report what I see!! ;-)<br />I agree those crabapples are glorious when they are in full bloom. I'm sure someone is working on a hybrid somewhere to make the bloom time last longer, don't you think?? I'd plant one in my yard if they were successful.

Wouldn't it be amazing to have them blooming for months? <br /><br />Hi SweetBay, it's just a wild geranium but I like the blooms too.<br /><br />Hi Silvia, the buntings and grosbeaks don't usually remain here very long. This year the buntings are staying awhile and perhaps will nest and remain. Fingers crossed.<br /><br />Hi Beckie, I have had tulips for over a month. My parrot tulips are still flowering but the blooms are now ordinary singles. <br /><br />Lisa, most of our migrants have come and gone too. It is unusual to have the buntings and grosbeaks stay this long. Perhaps they will nest here this year.<br /><br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641867746157798839.post-17598637683029049912009-05-22T07:34:37.353-05:002009-05-22T07:34:37.353-05:00Hi Moosh, another RMB fan.

Birds are notoriously macho-macho about leaving the little lady to deal with the kids and the housework;)<br /><br />Hi Helen, thank you.<br /><br />Hey BeadedTail, Miss B is really getting into this blog gossip thing.
