Magnolia blooms after the flood

We had so much rain over the weekend, over 8” in 36 hours, that the majority of the Magnolia blooms turned brown and started falling apart. There are some new blooms that will open and be their usual creamy white, thank goodness.

You had a lot of rain! They are still magnificent blooms! I just discovered there is a big magnolia across the street and I plan on taking some pics when the lower buds bloom! :)

Wow a lot of rain. I love magnolias, hope the new blooms will survive better.

While these don't show the pure white they still have a certain beauty in this great light. I am glad you survived the deluge

Yikes that a lot of rain!

Such an interesting narrative - and such a lot of rain!!

We were spared the heavy rains they talked of (and you got) but still have more coming this weekend. Such a rainy spring. Glad to hear you'll get a second blooming on the magnolias.

Oh dear, so sad to not have their day in the sun, literally.

That's a lot of rain! Well, thankfully you'll get more blooms but these did make for a good photo subject.

The light and shadow play on this is really great!
