Just a little earlier this spring I was being overwhelmed with the wonderful fragrance of all of the magnolias that were blooming in all of the neighborhoods of Delaware. Most have finally reached their peak and moved on, but I tool some closeup pictures of some flowers on a tree at the DuPont Country Club while it was at its best.
Stick your nose in there and smell the flower in this closeup. I can almost remember the smell just by looking at it. The petals feel really smooth as well.

They are so beautiful... i used to benefit from one in next door's garden at our old house...
love these too!
I love the mid-range color: not quite pink, but not quite white, either.
I am flattered that this post has been included in the Festival of Trees no. 47.
