Today's Flowers-May 22, 2011-Magnolias

~~~


~~

The magnolia trees around our town have been spectacular this time.  The one tree I have in my yard, however, hasn't had a lot of blooms, and they are mostly high up in the tree so that I haven't been able to get many pictures!  I got lucky today and found a couple of blooms  that I could  photograph.
No flowering tree is more representative of the south than the magnificent Magnolia.

    Lovely light and shadow play in your photos Junie!
    The magnolia tree is so pretty with its shiny leaves and big blooms but it can get messy. :)

    This Georgia girl loves to see southern Magnolias, they are so beautiful. Here we have lots of Star Magnolias and while they are very pretty they just aren't the same as the southern one.

    YOur blossoms are just lovely. I have never seen a Magnolia tree but have heard the flowers are very fragrant.
