Star Magnolia

Finally, temperatures in the 70s today. This Star Magnolia, which is the earliest shrub of the season, just popped into bloom today. I could have retouched the bug, but I like him!

Hooray - spring is finally coming to CT! This is so pretty - I've never seen a Star Magnolia - just the bigger leaved ones down here. This is lovely and you've treated it perfectly. Nice soft background.

A beauty of a flower and looks great against the lovely shade of background green.

I agree with Alison, love the way the white petals look against the green background :)
