Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, not quite

This past weekend was positively spring-like but the full buds of the magnolias buds did not burst.  Instead we are offering magnolias in bloom at the Portland Classical Chinese Garden.  The photograph was taken on March 21, 2004 by Kelly Brenner of Metropolitan Field Guide.

  1. They are such a lovely tree, but I am glad I can use the excuse that my yard is too small for one. They are so very fleeting. Maybe the next garden will be big enough to abide such a brief marvelous show.
