Carpe Diem #458, Magnolia


Dear Haijin, visitors and travelers,

Today we have one of the first blossoming trees/bushes of spring. As this tree/bush starts blooming I know its spring almost. Today our prompt is Magnolia.Jane gives the following example of Magnolia:

I dont have a Magnolia in my garden, but someday that will change. I love this tree/bush especially when it is in full bloom. Those wonderful colored blossoms almost as big as a child its hand ... awesome!

Well ... what do you think of these two? I like them, but that is not up to me to decide.

This episode is open for your submissions tonight at 7.00 PM (CET) and will remain open until April 29th 11.59 AM (CET). I will try to post our new episode, our last Special by Soen Nakagawa, later on today. For now ... have fun!

  3. Very beautiful, Kristjaan
    Always a debate: should I cut the flowers or not? But the beauty of the magnolia cries to be brought indoors. Love the haiku. :)
