STOP and smell the flowers
Add caption
I thought this STOP signed lined up nicely with the blossoms and made a "Stop and smell the flowers" photo. It looks like a good year for Magnolia trees in the lowcountry.
We have some Little Gem magnolias that are flowering here now, too. I just wish the blooms would stay on longer. All we can do is enjoy them while we can. :)

I wasn't familiar with Little Gem. Had to look it up! Now I will probably see them everywhere but hadn't heard of them before.
DeleteI like the theme. However now I want a visual for tiptoe through the tulips :)
ReplyDeleteWe don't have many tulips here. I don't think it is cold enough for them. We'd have to dig them up and put them in the frig during the winter.
DeleteI love Magnolias, we had a warm spell in March which brought on the flowers early, then a cold spell made them all wilt quicker than usual. Dally
