Magnolia

The iconic southern magnolia tree begins to bloom in May. It represents the beginning of warm weather, visits to the shore, and lazy days. It also reminds us of a femininity and grace that stands firm against the storms of life. The white flowers are iconic, and when displayed against a clear blue sky, they are breathtaking. Grab your basket and make an aromatic bouquet to bring inside. But sniffers, beware! One never encounters a magnolia without a few bees!
