The week I have waited for is finally here. But, after snow last week, and the threat of more tonight, they seem a little unsure this year. Scared to fully open, in fear of another freeze. Their branches less full of blooms. Still, I love them just the same.I have been trying to read up a little this morning on magnolias. There are so many types, but it seems Michigan is only suitable for growing, Star (shown above), and Tulip (or their hybrid the "Saucer"). I am dreaming of a nice spring roadtrip, south in search of a lovely grandiflora.
