Full of Promise

This is a bud of my magnolia 'black tulip'. I just love it when the coloured petals emerge from the furry outer casing. This year the black tulip tree has more buds than ever before, I just hope they don't get hit by any frosts.

A super bud and shot - we have been lucky this year for the early flowering plants - hope we are not in for late frost !

Thar bud is quite a sight! Furry on the side but that lovely rich colour ready to pop out!

[Carole Sandford]

A little early perhaps, full of promise though.

A beautiful close-up, Sue! I love that purple bursting out of its "shell" and backdropped by the solid green! And I love magnolias! You are going to have one stunning display from the sounds of it! Fav
