Creamy White Gorgeousness

...as in magnolia. I believe this is a Magnolia Soulangiana "Barrington Belle".


We were out the other day just as the sun finally peaked out from behind the clouds and watched the blossoms open before our eyes. How did they know?





Aahhh...  spring!
Did your garden make it through the last few nights of frost?

Thank you, Cindy, at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.

Magnolia Beauties

Nothing portrays the beauty of Mother Nature at her best like the magnolia. Even up here in the northern climes of the U.S., we have magnolias that can live through our zone 5 winters.



If you would like a magnificent magnolia wreath such as this, 
you'll have to order it from Australia, here. Isn't it beautiful?


The first magnolia to bloom here is the magnolia stellata. The blooms do not last long, but they are blowsy and as white as can be.




Magnolia soulangiana opens next. There are many varieties; this next magnolia blooms a creamy white.






You are probably most familiar with this coloring:




The last to bloom in our garden is the Sweet Bay magnolia and it graces us with its scent and blooms all summer.





Long live the magnolias and their stunning beauty!




Thank you to Cindy at My Romantic Home!
