Flowers from a Master Gardener's garden
My boyfriend's mom is a master gardener. It was springtime down in Oklahoma City, and things were blooming. I took photos of her flowers with my boyfriend's camera, since my batteries had run out of juice. I think they came out pretty good for a little point and shoot 4Mp camera. These photos were taken around dusk. If any of you know what type flowers these are, let me know!

Miniature Magnolia


Tulip


Tiger Pansies


Daffodils?


Yellow Flowering Tree


Pink Flowering Bush


Joshua Tree?


Garden Gnome and Mushroom


White Daffodils?

Not a Joshua tree, but can't identify it, thought it was some kind of cherry?

Hope this helps. :hi:

2. It's definitely not a fruit tree
She told me what it was (and all of them), but I didn't write it down so I forgot! Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

5. That's what I was thinking too. Very good at resisting drought.
They have a very deep root system. Excellent for stabilizing slopes.
