It seems everywhere I look magnolias are blooming – big sprawling trees and tall thin ones like the one in the parking lot at the grocery store. I had not realized this parking lot contained a magnolia tree until today. You may have read this before here and might again: All parking lots should have tree islands like this one that I’m guessing was paved about 30 years ago. Magnolias are evergreens. They drop the old brown leaves as new leaves and flowers come in. The flowers have a soft, lemony scent.
More magnolia photos:
The last photo was taken by my daughter a couple of weeks ago at her apartment complex where the magnolia flowers were “as big as your head.”

My childhood home had three magnolia trees that were dramatic and gorgeous. Every time I see or smell one, it reminds me of home. We don’t have them where I live now, and I miss them. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your childhood memory of magnolias, Mae. I did not see them growing up.

Beautiful! A flower ‘as big as your head’ seems really really huge!! Are Magnolias very fragrant flowers? Great captures JoAnna!

Thanks, Archana. The flowers do not have a strong fragrance, but if you get close to them, you can smell the fresh, lemony scent.

I loved the blooms and as big as a head? That’s huge. I love the white of magnolia and so glad you are witnessing the beauty. 🙂 Thanks for joining, JoAnna.

I love the smell of these flowers

Me too! They have a delicate fragrance, not overwhelming.

Ah! That’s a pure white! Lovely.
(And the leaves are very shiny, too. :))
