Southern Hemisphere a taste of what is to come,
for the Northern, a memory of what has been.
Magnolias, bloom early in spring, there are more
than 100 species originating in Asia and the East coast
of America. Not to be confused with another American
native tree, the Liliodendron tulipifera, commonly
called the Tulip Tree.

All these enlarge and were taken on our travels in
South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales.

These are beautiful, and I love the darker colors.

Hello from Finland !
Beautiful pink flowers and a whole tree full of them !!!
I love these bare trees when blooms come out. After that, leaves start to appear. And also I love your rhyme. :)
Sooo pretty! Beautiful shots of the Magnolia! I am looking forward to spring already!
I am always amazed (even though there are many of these around me) at how beautiful they are, particularly up close, like your bottom photo. Thanks for this uplifting "memory" - for me, up here - of them.
What beautiful flowers.
Those are so beautiful and make me think that spring will come again.
I just loved to see the magnolias! Know why? When I was a child my mom had this flower in her garden and I didn't know the name untill a few years ago. I love them!
Thank you, Arija!
Have a great week!
Superb reminder of all that lovely blossom Arija, so long gone from here - berries are beginning to turn red and it won't be long to Autumn.
Arija: You are closer to Spring than we are in my corner of the world! The magnolia trees are always filled with a beautiful blossom to witness!

These are gorgeous!
Beautiful images of spring! :-)
They evoke fond memories of our magnolia back home in DC: one large tree, taller than the house, and a smaller one, a pink star magnolia. I remember one particular spring day when I had put the easel out there under the smaller tree, for my three year and one and half year old daughters out there to paint. I kept track of them looking out from the kitchen door. Or so I thought! When I walked out to admire their art work, they had painted part of the trunk and the lower branches of the star magnolia! ;-)

Funny that you have winter when we have summer, and vice versa :) Magnolia is very beautiful! So you can have something to look forward to. Here in Oslo the Magnolia bloomed in early May. You can see my photos of Magnolia in the etiquette called Botanisk Hage (Botanic Garden). Welcome! :)
So gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Have a nice week Arija.
The magnolias are so gorgeous!
What delightful pink blossoms ... I can almost smell them ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
They're all lovely Arija. Magnolias always look so beautiful against a clear blue sky.
Janice.
