I recently made a quick trip to Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria, Virginia to see what was in bloom – and saw that one of their wonderful saucer magnolia trees was still blooming. And when I got home, I took a lot at my to-be-weeded pile of photos – and found a few more magnolia photos. So here thy are – some magnificent magnolia blossoms to brighten your day.
