First bloom

The first magnolia flowers are starting to open. After a couple of frosty nights while they were already without their shields the petals will not be at their best and there's a storm expected overnight so they may be looking worse tomorrow. But today they dare to show them selves :-)
For Flower Friday with thanks to Anni/BikerBear for all the hosting !

Thanks so much for all the celebratory Abstract Thursday entries yesterday and for your lovely comments, stars and hearts, that was definitely a party !
