Magnolia tree

Last week I blipped two magnolia buds from the tree in the garden in The Netherlands. I was thinking a week later I could take a picture of the tree in full bloom. Unfortunately within a week it's already past its prime, because of a warm week and lots of wind and rain. So, here it is, although not as full as I would have wanted. And probably by now it looks even worse, because after taking this picture we went to son no 1's home game and during and after that game there were huge hail-showers. I've put an iPhone picture in Blipfolio to show just how much hail there was !

Thanks very much for your comments and stars for yesterday's tulip Blip :-)
