Star Magnolia
It's been a long cold, snowy winter in Walla Walla, with a record wet month of March. For the most part it's all good as we head into spring and summer with enough moisture in the mountains to stave off the drought conditions that threatened the valley in the past. And with the memory of all that snow and rain still fresh, the blossoms of the early blooming Star Magnolia never looked more lovely.

Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks, William. I always look forward to the magnolia blossoms as they are among the first trees to bloom.
DeleteVery nice! I think the drops add to it's lushness.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Despite all the rain we've had in March, it seems all of my "wet" photos were of other locales, not Walla Walla.
DeleteRaindrops on the petals of flowers are so much more attractive than ice and snow.
ReplyDeleteEspecially at the end of March/beginning of April.
Deletebeautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI always think the magnolias are such a luxurious bloom Susan but for the life of me I can't remember if they have a strong perfume? You are so lucky to have had a decent amount of rainfall to tide you over summer, I'm hoping that we'll be as fortunate.
ReplyDeleteNo, they don't really have a smell, but are very luxurious as you noted. I bought the tree as a stick from WalMart many years ago, and it is growing into a sizable tree. Good thing I like it!
DeleteVery pretty Susan! Perfect for the theme.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lois.
DeleteGorgeous macro shots. They fit the theme perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara. With all of our rain in March, I would have thought I could get a photo of that. But the raindrops on the petals seemed to work for the theme.
DeleteVery nice shots, perfect for the theme !
