You never know when good fortune is going to come your way. I've always wanted a Magnolia tree, but for one reason or another I didn't follow thru with my desire. Yesterday while the sprinklers were going, I went down to the end of the rear deck to see if the spray was hitting the areas I wanted. I was standing next to the "don't pee off the deck" sign when the urge hit me. While I was taking care of business I looked down and thar next to the AC compressor were two small Magnolia's, I couldn't believe my eyes (really just one eye). Much later, after I cut off the irrigation pump, I got my 'brownie' out and took some pic/s of the small plants.

Most likely a bird ate the seeds from a Magnolia tree and deposited them at the end of the deck.
Another hot day in store for my parts, like a high of 98, with an overnight low of 68, partly cloudy with some wind out of the NE.
There are some that are thinking about messing with 'mother nature' >>
