Hi Mary,
I love Magnolia blossom, even though we don’t have any in our own garden.
The Magnolia and Camelia are both in full blossom, here in the milder Southern UK, with Rhododendrons and Azalea jusy beginning to make a show, lovely time of year.

Very pretty. They are such beautiful trees even if a little messy. When my Magnolia blooms I know summer is around the corner. It has buds… next week maybe some flowers.

I guess there is a little mess but really, ours is at the back of our yard so I don’t see it – just the beautiful flowers. And then they’re gone in a blink it seems.
