Magnolia envy

Driving home tonight I have noticed so many people's magnolia trees in full bloom but the closest I've got to anything remotely blooming are these violas that sit by the front door. Hopefully lots of other things will follow although I think I might need to find somewhere for a magnolia of my very own. It is lovely to still be able to see other people's gardens when driving home after a long day and even be able to be in my own before it gets dark.
