    Such exquisite flowers, Arija, and such gorgeous colors! Your photos are superb as always! Thanks for sharing the beauty! Have to admit I'm a tad envious of your spring -- in spite of our wonderful fall colors! Hope you have a good week ahead. I'm holding good thoughts for you and your sister!

    I loved seeing your lovely flowers. Mine have been dead a long time. The Texas drought has taken a toll on everything. Even the shadows from yours look nice.

    Ah, magnolias in bloom remind me of spring - alas, in the northern US it is autumn. But your spring is in bloom, and these are a lovely reminder of the beautiful spring weather you are enjoying now...

    Beautiful Arija~

    I love and yearn for the fragrance of Magnolias and viewing the beauty of their blossoms. Of all of the 2 acres of trees that we have, I have never grown any. This spring, I am to finally order a few of the Star Magnolias, and possible another variety.

    So strange to hear you speaking of
    Spring when we are just starting Fall here. Lovely photos and I especially like the last one. Have a peaceful week. Mickie :)

    Hi Arija
    I just love magnolias, perhaps because they are so fragile and delicate...
    Happy days

    Japanese Magnolias bloom late winter here and I just love them. However, I don't think I have ever seen the species on the bottom shot and it's also beautiful!
