I've visited several nurseries around here (nw Illinois), because I liked your pic and thought I would add one to my garden. No one has them and not sure if they will get in their "next" shipment....bummer! But I will keep searching!

Success! Found a nursery that knew what I was looking for (flowering almond), had them, so off I went! Bought one for me and one for my dd as an Easter present......told her to think of me each time she looks at it. Mine is planted now in the front garden so I can admire it from front porch......it is a lovely specimen. Funny, the nursery person said another woman had been in the day before and bought 2 too.
Now I am looking to replace a star magnolia that is only 12 yrs old, but only half bloomed this year and I've been told it will not come back........so looking for something else in the ornamental, not gigantic size, tree....does anyone here have a Chinese blue wisteria? It looks interesting......I am zone 5 |
My flowering almond is getting ready to bloom. And I spotted and offshoot so I will have two plants.

We didn't have AC so the windows were open at night with a fan blowing in the outside air. The smell from the blossoms was my night time perfume as I fell asleep. |
