Southern magnolia

Thanks, Hema and brycegarling for your kind words. Every magnolia's blooms are a little different ... this particular tree is fairly young and I've never seen another mag open blooms in quite this way. It's in bloom right now, matter of fact, I visited just the other day. The aroma ... wow.

great shot, Suz!!

Thanks, Brendan ...

There really is nothing quite like it ...

Wish we could sniff these!
