Magnolia

It seems to be a bumper year for magnolia blossom around here. There are trees on every street absolutely loaded with the blossoms, all variations of purple and pink and white. They don't last long.

This yellow magnolia grows beside the pond near my house. It had no blossoms last spring as an early ice storm killed the flower buds. But this year it's making up for the loss. 

Note: That heron beside the pond looks intriguing but sorry, it isn't real, it's made of metal. But a real heron arrives most evenings and walks around the water's edge hunting for dinner.

  3. To my sorrow I have failed to grow magnolias. I revel in those in other gardens but have not seen a yellow one.

  4. I love magnolias, but like in your area a late frost often leads to a lack of flowers.

  13. What a lovely picture you paint—yellow magnolias are such a rare and gentle beauty. I'm glad this tree is blooming again after last year’s loss. Even your mention of the heron, real or not, adds a special charm. I just shared a new travel post. I am excited for you to read it. Thank you. Happy weekend.
