@grammyn Thank you. The weather however, only got worse but nothing more serious here than thunder and lightning. (Thank goodness.) @mirroroflife I didn't get close enough to smell them but may go back because I wasn't aware they had a scent.
As others have said, makes a pretty carpet of petals—at least briefly. The tree we have here on campus drops them, and they rot and get ugly fairly quickly. So you got your picture at the right time!
@olivetreeann I have to say I've never seen them stay on the tree too long. Usually they are bitten by freezing weather. This one probably by rain. @kjarn Thank you Kathy. We got more hard rain and wind after I took this photo, so there are probably not many left on the tree. @grammyn We didn't get it as bad as we could have. I guess they send out warnings just in case. @Dawn Thanks Dawn. @shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie. @onewing Thanks Babs @bkbinthecity Thanks Brian. @will_wooderson it is a pretty timie of year. @rensala Thanks Renee. It was beautiful today. @wakelys Thanks Sue. Blue skies and puffy white clouds today. @pusspup It really is. @mcsiegle My experience with them (and this is from seeing them in other places) that the blooms seem to drop pretty quickly, timing dependent on the current weather. When they fade, the carpet's not nearly so pretty. @tunia Yes. We've had some exceptionally warm weather for this time of year. @craftymeg Thanks Meg. @haskar You're so right. I wish the blooms on the trees would stay longer. @corinnec Thanks @pyrrhula It is. We call it a tulip magnolia. Thanks Ferry.
