I made some boasting noises about my magnolia, so just to prove that it really is an explosion of pink and white this year (it’s a youngling), I took some evening photographs, with a special dedication to Giliell. ;)

It’s gorgeous, I love the close-ups. And it’s just going to get better year after year!
It looks too young to bloom like that, but what a beauty! Jazzlet is right, it will keep getting better and better. My neighbour’s magnolia is still at least a week away from blooming. Thanks for sharing this one.
Also I see I will have to discuss with Husband his picture quality settings, I have resorted to using his phone (I left the work camera at home) and it’s just not the same, I see…
How beautiful! I love magnolias, I just wish the flowers lasted longer.
