Every year I intend to photograph the magnolia in our front garden during the week it is in bloom and then, one way or another, I miss it because it has come and gone so fast.

Pretty! I love how dramatic the flowers are on bare branches.

I love magnolias. I'd like to have a magnolia tree someday.

Oh that's lovely! I'm eagerly waiting for our lilac to bloom as well as the magnolias down Commonwealth & Newbury Streets in downtown Boston. Its a yearly family tradition to go walk the length from the Boston/Brookline border where I grew up to Boston Commons to see them put the swan boats into the pond for the first time.

Swan Boats (http://theworldlycritic.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/swan_boats_in_boston_-73531.jpg) are a very long standing tradition on the Boston Commons. They are quite lovely and a wonderfully magical experience that's part of almost every childhood around here, including my son, Hootie_bird's.

Beautiful. There was (is?) a magnolia a few houses away from ours when I was growing up, which I walked past nearly every day going to school, and I loved it when it was in blossom and then shed its huge soft petals - I liked to pick them up and stroke them with my finger, or against my cheek, like silk-velvet.
