Magnolia Beauty

Some of the magnolia trees have started to bloom.

They are a startling study in contrasts with their large, grandiose and beautifully fragrant blooms against a background of bare greyish-brown branches, gloriously emerging from their fuzzy capsules like petalled butterflies.

I could smell the scent from this small tree about half a block away and was so delighted to see it.

Magnolia blooms only last about a week so they have to be enjoyed in the fleeting moment.

Happy Tuesday.

Early Rhododendrons

30 Comments

The first little rhodie bud that I saw a few days back has now opened!

The bush with this single bloom doesn’t seem to be ready yet to produce those beautiful rhodie clusters but the bush next to this one is going to pop in the next few days.

The header picture shows flowers from 2024 but soon there will be some present spring lovelies for our viewing enjoyment.

Happy Monday.
