Good morning Frank. Your photos were a good reminder about the soon to arrive Japanese beetles that visit my gardens. I am inspired to get my traps ready. The other two pictures are very beautiful flowers. Thanks. Dan
Thank you, Dale! The first time I saw a magnolia was a couple of years ago. There are a bunch of them in the park across the street from where we now live.

Stunning. Love the Magnolia. We had a huge one outside my house when I was growing up. Also 50+ rose bushes, Dogwoods AND Gardenia’s. Ah, the South.

I was struck by the magnolia. The first one you see the flower, the second, you see it’s core. The focal point changes.
The earthly man perishes but the spirit is renewed daily.

I think magnolia is their name, but I know little about them other than that and how attractive they are. Blessings, Mimi!
