Heather said...: Thanks, Lea -- it's too bad they have such a short bloom time up here.; Monday, June 15, 2015 8:11:00 AM
Alice Audrey said...: Luscious!

I thought magnolias were more of a southern thing.; Monday, June 15, 2015 9:52:00 PM
Heather said...: Alice: They do have a longer bloom cycle in the south. Here in the Midwest they only bloom a few weeks in the spring.; Thursday, June 18, 2015 7:51:00 AM
Alice Audrey said...: That makes sense, considering they survive at all.; Thursday, June 25, 2015 12:35:00 PM
Heather said...: Uh-huh... I think maybe our yo-yoing spring temps contribute to the shorter bloom cycle. They don't like it any more than we do when it goes from 70 one week to 40 or lower the next.; Thursday, June 25, 2015 12:54:00 PM
