It was a pleasure to visit your garden and nursery! Sorry that your comment didn't appear earlier. It somehow got snagged in the blogger spam filter and I didn't check that until just now.

We really are appreciative to have so many fun plant geeks as customers. I heard from one yesterday about a great review of our nursery on someones blog and had to check it out.<br /><br />In my plant geekdom, I do have to correct the nomenclature of the Magnolia, as the species is hypoleuca, not macrophylla. The leaves on this tree get around 2' or so in length and are a bit more paddle shaped and narrow towards the leaf petiole. Not that I don't have a pair of M. macrophylla's lurking in the garden...<br /><br />I do refer to the Acacia as a fancy annual to most folks. Not really hardy below 15-18 F and the species baileyana is really not to great at resprouting from the roots like a number of other Acacia species. Check us out next season for one if you need it as it's in the works for propagation! Also, blooms late February and again in late fall/early winter with small bright yellow poof balls of flowers covering the entire tree.<br /><br />Thanks again for the great review! Please feel free to check us out on Facebook as I am trying to constantly keep new plant pics listed and let folks know what's new at the nursery.<br /><br />Take care, JeffJeff Ericksonhttps://www.facebook.com/CelestialDreamGardensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-76751376392556679392013-05-28T11:13:39.137-07:002013-05-28T11:13:39.137-07:00I think that one is worth the better part of a day...I think that one is worth the better part of a day for exploring.
