I planted it in the backyard, next to my roses, Forsythia, and Lilac .
It has gotten much taller than they.
It has become a fascination for me.
The woody pink blooms are out for a few days...then they habitually go away.
If it rains whilst out, they go away while you are stuck inside.
If you're lucky, like I was, you can capture a photo or two, to tide you over until next spring.
When this Magnolia tree grows as tall as our house, it will be our shade tree in the backyard.
I will welcome it with open arms each year.
I will take its winning photo each year.
I will crown it the winner each year!
I will...I will...I will...
