    My daughters Star Magnolia is doing fine in our front yard.

    I learn this year that they can be forced. I took a few cuttings a few days ago.

    I don't have one and I did not know that, either. Enjoy it.

    My Magnolia is also putting out its first flower buds despite the cold weather. I love to see them opening up as they are so beautiful.

    Wow. This has happened in just a few hours. When they say forced blooms happen fast, they really mean it...

    Bet it is in full bloom before I go to bed...

    Holy Mackerel!

    That has such a subtle beauty, Ware.
    I would also be remiss if I did not compliment your home...or at least the wall that is visible behind your lovely magnolia.
    It looks quite attractive and cosy at the same time.
