Magnolias

Yes, another spring flower photo... I just can't stop myself. Everything is in full bloom here now and I'm on a quest to capture all my favorites while I can. So many, like these pretties, make such a fleeting appearance. Magnolias - check!

I was very surprised and excited to see my "Easter Sunset" photo on the Top 20 list this week. Many thanks to all of you for the views, comments, and favs that sent it there. You are the best!

You market your area very well with all these early flowers! Keep them coming. I love the repetition in a diagonal line and the vivid color.

Glorious blooms, wonderful shot. Once again, we are still waiting for ours to bloom and I fear the frost is going to turn them brown before they open.

Beautifully captured magnolias .

[Meagan]

I just bought and planted a magnolia today! They are my favorite, lovely capture! Can't wait to take spring flower pictures myself :)

[Gena Pegg]

I also love my Magnolia! Does yours bloom twice? Ours looks very much like yours. Beautiful capture

[Lisa Stein]

@eyesmile Sorry for not responding earlier, Gena! No, our magnolias only bloom once and it is a very short bloom, too. Must enjoy them while we can! How interesting that you get two blooms. When does the second come?

[Gena Pegg]

@Lisa the 2nd bloom comes after the leaves have come on...the first is before the leaves come. So we do get to enjoy them twice, but the first seems to be my favorite.
