I went to the garden and saw this flower from my magnolia tree which is planted on a big tub.
I love the white velvety look of the flower and the scent is divine!
The buds are very long lasting and blooms in late winter, very early spring. Sometimes the buds are in bloom when it is still snowing but they do herald the coming of spring which is very reassuring especially when you are so sick of the cold of winter. 🙂
