The Heart of Magnolia

Another scorcher!

And my how kind this weather is to the flowering trees. The apple blossom is lasting long enough to die naturally without being destroyed by wind and rain.

That is all any of us can hope for, to reach our potential before we die, without the wind and rain of fickle fate shortening our time.

Here is the heart of Magnolia. [Magnolia soulangiana or Rustica Rubra] The upturned flower hides this magnificent structure]
