| Yellow Magnolia 'Butterflies' |
With the recent warm temperatures the buds of my Magnolia 'Butterflies' started to shed their winter scales and open, only to be cut down by an early morning frost a few days later...this happens every year! Why, oh why, couldn't a frost wait a few more days so that I could see my magnolia is full bloom before the flowers burn? It would have been a glorious sight!

Alas, it doesn't seem to be in the cards! These photos taken a few days ago are the most open I've seen the flowers in the seven years since I planted the tree. It was but a brief moment of beauty!
I may yet see a few more flowers that didn't get cut down by the frost open later on, but it won't be the full-blown effect I was hoping for.
