Very pretty! We had a Southern magnolia like this in the backyard of our first home. As beautiful - and huge - as it was we felt like we needed hardhats when all the parts and pieces of the blossoms started drying up and showering down.
I find it interesting that one of the first reactions upon seeing a magnolia, or a photo of it, is to immediately recall the wonderful fragrance. My question to you is: what is the strongest sense . . . sight or smell?
Yep -- we bought our home in Oregon mostly because of the beautiful grandiflora magnolia in the front yard (well, it was the first thing about it I fell in love with -- there were other good points). (Surprisingly, magnolias do very well in Oregon -- their health must have more to do with the dampness than the weather, since it is so much cooler there).
Great to see.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Jacob!
ReplyDeleteI can smell them from here.
ReplyDeleteI remember the wonder smell of the magnolia trees in Pasadena, CA. Miss them a tad. The blossoms you have look amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I wish I had a magnolia tree in my yard, but they are everywhere here so at least I still get to enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! And I know they are just as fragrant as beautiful!!! Terrific captures, as always!!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteRe your query on my post - Yes the migrants still flood Mumbai but now there is no organised housing for them hence they slum it.
Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteMuito belas estas flores de magnólia.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.
I saw a magnolia tree at the nursery Jacob, is your tree very big? I love the blooms, very luxurious.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Lowell!

ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous and I bet it smells nice too. I do love the big magnolia blooms and we don't see them very often here in the desert.
