Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Today, on this first Friday of Spring, we wanted to take you back to see what is blooming at the Sasebo Japanese Garden(part of the ABQ BioPark Botanic Gardens).
We showed you how it looked during February in this post, and today we want to share how it looks when the blooms just begin to peek out in March.
The Magnolia tree is starting to bloom,
They have the most delicate little flowers
Mama thinks this may be a Dwarf Weeping Cherry Tree
It was also just starting to bloom!
I was worried about that weeping tree for a minute, but Mama reminded me that it is called a "Weeping"
tree because the branches are droopy and not because it cries a lot.
Whew! I just hate when trees are sad, don't you??
The waterfall still looks pretty much the same, except we can see a few green buds on those big trees.
Behind the pond, Mama saw a Pink Magnolia tree blooming!
She was very happy to be able to catch these blooms earlier this week because the temperatures dipped way below freezing last night and she is afraid the pretty blooms may not have made it.
We hoped you enjoyed our March tour of the Sasebo Garden. Mama hopes to see a bunch more blooming soon and looks forward to going back in a few weeks to see even more color!
In the meantime, Sunny will be back next Friday to show you some of what is blooming in the other parts of the ABQ Botanical Gardens.
We sure hope Spring is starting to Spring in your area of Blogville and you get to get outside and enjoy some nature this weekend!!

ReplyDeleteOh my, how beautiful!!! I adore Magnolias. Where I am parked, the daffodils are just starting to open out... but like you, we had a mid-march dip and I awoke to snow on The Grey's windows on Wednesday! Yesterday, and hopefully today, the temps are moving on up... Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
The gardens are just beautiful and we can't wait till our magnolia tree blooms!
ReplyDeleteWe love anything cherry blossom and the magnolia is so pretty. We still have dead and brown around here but it is too early for blooms in this part of the country. Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beatiful garden. Our paws are crossed that those blossoms survived the cold weather.
ReplyDeleteJava Bean: "Ayyy, I do not want the trees to be sad either! That is why I make sure to water them on walks!"
ReplyDeleteLulu: "I don't think the way you 'water' trees is going to make them less sad, Bean."
Nieces Rosy and Sunny...first I love your very spring like Afghan back drop!! Just lovely
ReplyDeleteAnd of course you bows.
The photo of the Sasebo Japanese Garden with the water looks like a painting. It is breathtaking.
I am a huge fan of the Amazing Race. They were in Japan last night I saw lots of beautiful temples. Thank you for sharing all the pretty blooms. I especially like the Weeping Cherry.
With the delicate limbs it looks like the blooms are floating
Hugs AC
so much beauty to see and so little time to do it..... the garden is lovely and I like the view of the pond with the trees and no leaves... so peaceful
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely tour! Japanese gardens are a delight.
ReplyDeleteSpring is in the air! And yes, we definitely don't want the trees to be sad. Have a wonderful weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteThere sure is a lot of beauty here, especially you two girls!
ReplyDeleteJapanese gardens are always so beautiful. The magnolia blossoms are so pretty. A few have started to bloom here too, but the crazy winds are not being very kind to them.

Wow your background is bright Rosie. I adore your magnolias - a werping trees feature a lot in far-eastern art and formal gardens don't they.
