Oh, I know that those beautiful, blowsy rhododendrons will arrive soon in a flurry of colored skirts and frilled bonnets but magnolia is the undisputed queen. All others are just ladies-in-waiting.
In another week, magnolia will be in white from head to root. The modest daffs and primroses will be no competition for her. And, wisely, she will have swept away in a flurry of bruised petals by the time the others arrive with their perfumes and vivid colors.

I didn't know this. The one has a little furry cap on. How beautiful. Are there pink ones? We have trees around here that look like pink magnolias.
Beautiful pictures + poetic writing = lovely post!
Hey there!
I like how your words go really well with the pictures you have posted. For me, white flowers are extemely attractive than the bright colored ones.
Lovely post with beautiful pictures. I'll definitely be back. ^_^
Yes, it is my favorite magnolia as a tree - it is glorious!
Ah yes, she is queen. And she keeps us waiting! here too.
Enjoying your a to z challenge, you always have a great and sometimes unusual take on the letters.
Such a lovely tale of floral beauty...
Sigh...
Still nothing here. Spring is sooooo late.
There's a reason the movie is called Steel Magnolias and not Steel Daffodils or Steel Primroses. I believe your post has finally brought the reason why to light for me.
