It seems it is nearly dusk when I stop long enough to take pictures. The Tulip Magnolia is just about to burst into color. We are supposed to have a frost tomorrow night (Wednesday night) so we hope it doesn't get nipped. Some years it does get caught. We don't know the variety but the blooms are huge and fragrant. It seems to flower a little bit later than some. Over the 15 years it has been planted, it has become a beautifully shaped tree that we find attractive year-round.
