The image in the header and these images I have to share today were taken in the Magnolia Planting section of Eden Park in Cincinnati.
As a post script to this day, this was the ONLY sunny day the week we took these pictures. And, as I write this a few days after they were taken, we have had severe storms that have knocked many of those pretty blossoms to the ground. We were just plain lucky to get there on the right day this year.
Enjoy!
Lois

Wow, I have never seen anything like it, just on postcards and photos.
Thanks for sharing Lois!

the blossom here is beautiful too, such a shame the storm uprooted some of these precious trees.
How pretty! What a special park. We call that particular type of magnolia a "tulip tree" here in Alabama. I love the size of them! they must be very old. It looked like the date was from the 1960's maybe?

What a devine place to take a walk. Those magnolias are quite beautiful.
your magnolias are so different than those we have in Texas. ours have huge green leaves and giant white blossoms.
I'm so glad you had a chance to see the blossoms before the storm. Beautiful pictures!
Beautiful! It's nice you got there before the storms did.
What an embarrassment of riches. Blossoms all over the place. Thanks for sharing.
How beautiful! It looks like you were there just in the right moment. All those wonderful flowers! Spring is beautiful!
What a gorgeous display! Timing is everything, and youi managed to get it right. When the weather is good you've got to take advantage of it.
The magnolia trees are breathtaking, Lois. Thank-you so much for sharing the pictures with us :-)

Beautiful Magnolia blooms.
Lois, not only were you and Kjell lucky to get the images but we were all fortunate to see them too.
Gorgeous! Stunning! Wow! We are about to get a magnolia tree and I can't wait for it bloom next year. What a treasure to have so close.
Hi Lois...wonderful breathtaking site. Just amazing the amount of blossoms.
You and your Honey (or who every that guy in the park was) ; }lol was lucky to get these great photos before the storms!!
Good morning,
Yes, this was a photographer's wonderland. What a fun day it was!
I've learned in that area of the park that there are many, many different types of magnolias. The big ones that some call tulip trees are especially impressive when in bloom. We have one in bloom in our front garden. It is much smaller, but still very pretty. I have a picture of that coming on a future post with other garden images.
Thank you for stopping by, everyone, and for your very kind comments.
Very best,
Lois
Lovely blossoming trees. Spring time is one of my favorite times of the year.Everything is so pretty. Have a wonderful weekend.
Those magnolia blossom are magnificent!
These are all beautiful, beautiful shots!
