I was WRONG!

 O.K., for a long time I have been posting the pretty Tulip Poplar trees in our area. There are many.




Well, turns out I was wrong! Apparently, these are pink Magnolias!! I didn't even KNOW there were pink Magnolias till this year! I had only ever seen white and yellow.

You took great photos of them Ginny! It is hard to tell what they are until they start blooming like this.

I'm completely clueless about names, so I won't remember what they're called. But I love the pictures. :)

Oh, those are so pretty! I would have thought tulip tree too. I had no idea there were any color magnolia blooms but white.

By the way, I love your last post with all the weedy yards. That's so unusual and they're kind of pretty too.
