    Oh, I so love Magnolias. We don't have many up here, but just south of us in Victoria there are so many beautiful ones. A true beacon of spring!

    I have been trying to figure out what kind of tree that was for like 2 years. Glad some of these comments have finally answered my question. Glad actually isn't strong enough of a word.

    Oh, cherry blossom, my favorite herald of spring, I adore you so. What a lovely balm for the eyes those flowers are, too.

    There is a tree in Larkspur that I go to see every spring. The biggest, most perfectly shaped Magnolia I've ever seen. This year I went and they had build a huge ugly hedge around it -- about eight feet high. I was sad. Your beautiful photo makes me feel a little bit better.

    Ah! I have a similar tree in my front yard, which welcomed me home with a full blush of rosy blooms.
    (and such fragrance released into the evening!)

    I can see why! There is one in town which has somehow been able to survive our climate...a few blocks from my house. Every spring I make a point to visit it...spring is not here yet but your picture will help the wait.
