These little furry, almond shaped flower buds will soon be wonderful Magnolia flowers. I was excited to see so many promised flowers on these young trees! I’m not sure how long it takes for the cycle to go from bud to flower but I will be watching:)

That’s a great macro shot! Do you have lots of things budding at this strange time of year? We do here in Taranaki! I’m so confused!!

We bought some young magnolias last year and they are all in bud at the moment. I can’t wait to see the flowers – they are truly beautiful!
Loving your blog by the way 🙂
