Since none of us have spring just now, for the
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.
Palest pink and baby blue, perfect blooms just for you
tucked in a crowd
or neatly spaced,
or standing alone, just two interlaced.

Hello from Finland !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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. :)
ReplyDeleteSooo pretty! Beautiful shots of the Magnolia! I am looking forward to spring already!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful and make me think that spring will come again.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Arija!

Beautiful magnolia. One of my favorite tree. We used to see a lot in Charleston, South Carolina. We have a yellow one in the garden. It flowers so early in the Spring, we were never here when it blooms. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWe call these tulip trees. So pretty. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLooks sort of like our Tulip trees here, and one of the first to bloom in the spring. Such a gorgeous pink.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comments on my blog.I love these flowers,so very pretty...pinks in a variety of shades.Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images of spring! :-)
ReplyDeleteThey 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! :)
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week Arija.
The magnolias are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat delightful pink blossoms ... I can almost smell them ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
They're all lovely Arija. Magnolias always look so beautiful against a clear blue sky.
