M is for Magnificent Magnolia

........I couldn't help myself...I know I only posted a magnolia the other day.......but what to do when confronted by this glorious bloom.

In this stage of its flowering it feels virginal and pure...opening its delicate center to the world and releasing its fragrance..........a young woman perhaps...who still believes in Fairy Tales and her Knight in shining armor will carry her off on an a beautiful white charger.

Dreams of true love............and a first kiss....a sweet and innocent beauty that is priceless...and is gone in a twinkling of the eye.
