Last fall, my father and I planted pansies, daffodils and muscari underneath the front magnolia tree after I got rid of most of the japanese forest grass and black eyed susan that was originally there. I personally didn’t mind those plants, but my grandma prefers flowers over grass.
My grandma and my aunt tend to like colorful and feminine clothing and items so I chose dainty and soft looking colors for them. I also tend to like pastel colors so it was fun coming up with the color palette.
Magnolia Circle: April Week 1 to Week 3
Didn’t know the pansies would come back after winter! 
The purple and white viola has orange tones at first and later turns white 
Daffodil ‘Pipit’ in full bloom! 
Muscari ‘Valerie Finnis’
Tulips: April Week 1 and 2
Discounted bulbs from Lowe’s. Still in bloom! 
Tulip ‘Angelique’ about to open. Planted in Sept 2018 
Too bad the petals fall a week after it opens
More Flowers 🙂
Violas look like little postage stamps to me 
Pot actually has no drainage but they are flourishing! 
Muscari and Lily of the Valley 
Daffodil ‘Accent’ – I’m happy they haven’t been stolen yet
