Chinese Magnolia

 

 

 

 


This tree gets flowers first and later gets its leaves. It's always a bit strange to see such beautiful flowers on naked "sticks!" The buds pic was taken on March 17 and the full bloom shots were taken April 5. The flowers are already beginning to drop off the trees. The leaves should arrive next week or so.

I have one of those in my yard, too. Interesting, isn't it? They're really Saucer Magnolias, but here it's called a Tulip Magnolia. Aren't they gorgeous?
