Magnolia Bloom

The other day the girls and I went on a walk to see if any of the Magnolia trees had bloomed- and they had!!! We picked one flower and here are some pics. I think the core of the flower is just magnificent and they smell awesome!
Magnolia trees are very special to my husband and I because we were married under a 100 year old Magnolia tree in a little town called Monroe, Ga. We are aiming to go back there on our 5 year wedding anniversary in January so the girls can see the "infamous" Magnolia tree!!!
