Southern Magnolia blossoms have a beautiful, light, lemony scent, but you pay for that with huge, leathery leaves that don't want to decompose (or at least that's what it seems like). <br /><br />That's an especially lovely Saucer Magnolia, though.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171802310115844104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949041.post-2517909430313555512011-04-18T12:09:47.107-07:002011-04-18T12:09:47.107-07:00What an awesome story about the magnolia tree!
...What an awesome story about the magnolia tree! <br /><br />My neighbor has one that I can see out of my bedroom window - a wonderful sight to wake up to each morning. Each year as it starts to bud, I pray that we don't have a late freeze that will kill the buds off before they have a chance to flower!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06449839755544800916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10949041.post-60749627086859597752011-04-18T10:52:53.449-07:002011-04-18T10:52:53.449-07:00pink pink PINK PINK!
