Due to some extremely warm days in January we had our Japanese Magnolia, Magnolia x soulangeana in Full Bloom on January 27!
That was Mom's 2nd anniversary in heaven...

Strange as they usually would bloom on her Birthday, February 12!
Here they are already shedding their petals, on February 4!
But because of some dark weather I could not make photos...
Photo is taken from the neighbor's side, over the Vinyl Picket Fence towards our home.
This is taken from our side towards the road.
It is not entirely blue skies but enough light in-betweeen.
Looking at our veranda and kitchen bay window area.
Our patio is not yet filled with all planters, they still remain in the greenhouse.
Love this Vinyl Picket Fence!
This photo I also used for new header...
Oh, how I love those Blooms!
Here you see the fully open bloom and the more closed ones.
Petals are falling...
This is perfect, the color against the Southern Magnolia as a back drop.
Sad that for only about 2 weeks you can enjoy them!
That is, without frost as they turn brown and floppy...
Had to share these beauties with you.
We do have a second tree which is a lot later and not as good as one year a huge pine tree fell into it, splitting it in half.
But it survived and we get some flowers every spring.
After heavy rains and thunderstorms on the 7th of February, this was the view on February 9, from our veranda.
By the way, these 3 windows need to get a new Fleur de Lys crocheted curtain later.
Only 50 hours...
