Star Magnolia

Star Magnolia is such a gorgeous tree and it is in full bloom this week. 

I wish there was a "smell-o-vision" along with this post as the backyard is filled with the scent of the magnolia flowers. Oh my goodness, it is lovely. 

I did an interesting (to me) post on Maine Nature Diary, back in 2020, that explains the anatomy of the Star Magnolia flower. Check it out!
