Magnolia update

It was merely a few days ago when the magnolia tree in our backyard was blossoming and looking beautiful. Now, thanks to rain, some frost, and even hail, many of its flowers have lost their petals and much of its beauty has been lessened:

Not that I am complaining about the weather, as we cannot change it and we definitely do need the rain (it has been raining frequently here since the hosepipe ban in into effect). Still, it would have been good for these flowers to have lasted a little longer.

    Same thing happened here. It makes me sad a little.

    I guess it's one of the inevitable events that occurs in nature. The best we can do is to appreciate the flowers in the time they are at the finest!

      Very true. I have allergies, but I love the first signs of Spring with the plants. I also love fall for when the trees change colours. :)

      Shame about allergies. :(! Fall is good, definitely! :) I miss raking leaves: it used to take several hours to complete raking all the leaves up at our house in Oregon, but here it doesn't take that long at all.
