My tiny one looks like it might be pretty much dead. Such a shame, I was really looking forward to seeing it grow. Lucky you having nesting great tits, it will be fun to watch them fledge. I love wisteria, I'm thinking of getting a white one to cover a fence in the back garden. Your garden looks wonderful, it's like the rainforest under that magnolia!CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-90098369710034589852014-06-01T19:58:30.784+00:002014-06-01T19:58:30.784+00:00Shame about the flowers but the leaves look quite ...Shame about the flowers but the leaves look quite healthy and its a good looking tree.Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263430746482725687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-33495905331489353642014-06-01T18:18:30.860+00:002014-06-01T18:18:30.860+00:00I have never seen the seed and the seeds pod befor...I have never seen the seed and the seeds pod before, so interesting!Endah Murniyatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16175364514530314348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-85482984437959870372014-06-01T17:46:22.302+00:002014-06-01T17:46:22.302+00:00I guess they find bugs amongst the leaves too Angi...I guess they find bugs amongst the leaves too AngieSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-26533231851568186972014-06-01T17:45:19.469+00:002014-06-01T17:45:19.469+00:00The birds love it, Jo especially as it is close to...The birds love it, Jo especially as it is close to a crab apple too.

I bet the birds enjoy having their feeders hanging from there, I know they clear the ones I hang in our lilac tree before the ones on the feeding station. Is the squirrel a regular visitor? I've only ever seen the odd one around here, though we had to slow down in the car a week or so ago as there was a baby crossing the road which wasn't in too much of a hurry to scurry out of danger.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-87043261173167556532014-06-01T13:22:36.608+00:002014-06-01T13:22:36.608+00:00Well, you have certainly studied your Magnolia in ...Well, you have certainly studied your Magnolia in detail!
