Magnolia Blossom

Our Magnolia came out in full blossom late last week, as the early onset of Summer fleetingly visited the UK (Thursday & Friday). Unfortunately, Saturday evening and Sunday saw winds, which dumped most of the petals on the newly mown lawn (Carole posted a photo of this to her album)

I’ve long felt it a shame that the blossom on all trees doesn’t last longer.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

Beautiful Magnolia. My sis has a white one and the same happens every year with the winds. Least you got a good photo while it lasted.

Someone once told me that Magnolia are called "Tree of Tears". Perhaps it is because of the mixed weather at this time of year.

Such a beautiful flower. Enjoy it while you can and of course, share with us.

This is a deep pink variety! And I can see its a bit different from our magnolia which is white and has absolutely tons of stamens that fall out!

A beautiful capture. Our pear tree blossoms are short lived too, it seems such a shame!
