InfiniteIcarus+Followdid i accidentally turn my forsythia bush into a backyard superstar?Last spring, I got a little carried away with my pruning shears. My forsythia bush was looking wild, so I started snipping away, aiming for a cleaner look. I didn’t really have a plan—just wanted to see more sunlight hit the ground. A few weeks later, I realized I’d left a single tall stem, and it started to look like a mini tree! Turns out, forsythias can totally rock a tree shape if you trim the lower branches and let one strong stem take the lead. Now, it’s the highlight of my yard, especially when those yellow blooms explode in early spring. If you’re bored with the usual bushy look, give this a try. It’s fun to experiment and see your plants transform in unexpected ways. #gardeningtips #forsythia #backyardprojects #springblooms #Gardening30Share
JetJaguar+Followcan a fiery maple and pure white tulips actually be bffs?Last spring, I took a wild chance and planted a tiny red Japanese maple right next to a patch of white tulips. I had no clue if they’d get along, but I figured, why not? Turns out, the combo is a total vibe. The maple’s deep red leaves make the tulips pop like little stars. Here’s the trick: I made sure the tulips got enough sun before the maple leaves filled out. By the time the tree started shading them, the tulips were already showing off. Plus, the fallen maple leaves keep the soil cool and moist for the bulbs. It’s like they’re helping each other out. Watching them thrive together makes me smile every morning. Sometimes, mixing things up in the garden is the best way to learn what works. #gardeningtips #springblooms #mapletree #tuliplove #Gardening40Share
kellycrawford+FollowWhy is my camellia blooming like it’s on caffeine?? My camellia is putting on the most extra flower show I’ve ever seen. It’s literally blooming from the very top to the bottom branches like it’s been training for a floral marathon. I used to think “bloom machine” was just a phrase, but this thing is making me question if it’s normal or if I should be slightly concerned 😂 The blooms are so packed, it’s almost triggering my fear of tiny clusters. Meanwhile, my daffodils are showing off too—the back of each one looks like a little star when the sun hits it. Spring is going wild in my yard this year! #camellialove #springblooms #gardening40Share
Latoya Bradley+Follow Are costco’s bare root roses too good to be true? 🌹💸Ran into Costco for groceries and walked out with… bare root roses 😂 They were such a steal I couldn’t resist. After doing some digging online, I found out the three I grabbed are actually super hyped in the rose community. One’s known for being super low-maintenance and blooms like crazy, another is gorgeous but a bit sensitive to too much sun, and the last one? Basically everyone’s dreamy favorite. I Just got them planted and crossing my fingers they take off. Anyone else had luck with these from Costco? #roselovers #springblooms #gardening161Share
