Magnolia.

This is one of the Magnolia's flowering at Powis Castle at the moment, they are so beautiful, I just hope that we don't have any more severe frosts.
I fear that there may be some bad news regarding Alan ( Peacock) he appears to have been deposed, Sidney is strutting around lower courtyard followed by three females, Alan is lying about in the flower beds, relaxing and sunning himself- I just hope that he doesn't 'let himself go!
