Magnolia Opening
At the end of another year, I am posting a flower that speaks of hope and promise along with an elegant beauty. Once again enhanced by a recent rainfall, this opening magnolia bud from our tree is a beautiful symbol of good things to come. The magnolia tree in our garden has weathered hurricanes and winter storms that have damaged it severely, once destroying the centre completely, but each time it recovers to bring us a wonderful feast for the senses of sight and smell. When in bloom, the scent of the tree which is at least 20 feet tall is intoxicating and total strangers have driven up to ask us if they could photograph it, it is so beautiful. A single blossom alone is enough to delight the senses, so on that heady note, I look forward to the next year of flowers, sending everyone a warm hug from wintry Nova Scotia to wherever you are.

I love this magnolia Ellie! I have so many favourites… but I just can’t stop looking at this one. It’s quite spectacular!
Thank you so much, Lynne. This is one of my favourites too, but then… I seem to say that fairly often… I’m glad you like it so much. xo
Magnolias, being among the first to bud, always speak to me of Spring. This one in particular, with its rain-kissed complexion, clearly symbolizes freshness and new beginnings, something we could all use about now. Thank you, Ellie, for showing us hope.
Thank you very much Janet. Hope is something I am always happy to share. xo
They are very lovely Ellie. An the raindrops only add to the beauty. The smell is amazing just a shame that they are so short-lived. But we will enjoy them while they’re here and we know they are one of the first to grow in Spring.
Thank you so much, Linda. You know our tree well and I know you always appreciate seeing and smelling it in bloom. So many things are so short at their best, who we must enjoy them while we can as you say. Sorry for the late reply.
