i am obviously in need of a cherry blossom intervention. i just can't get enough of them! as my best elf, buddy, would say

i'm in love! i'm in love! and i don't care who knows it!


this is a magnolia stellata. one of my favorites. i love all magnolias. if i had a yard big enough, i would fill it with different magnolias, dogwoods, flowering plum trees and weeping cherry trees.
