Artist's Comments

Shot today, a closeup of a magnolia blossom.

Friends gave me the tree for my birthday back in 2001. I didn't expect it to grow, much less to bloom, but I have been gratefully wrong on both counts.

The magnolia is both the state tree and the state flower of my home state of Mississippi.

It's very inviting. If you were small enough, I'd imagine that you'd want to curl up inside and sleep. Really pretty colors and detail.

I know. I haven't smelled a magnolia in awhile. Lots of gardenia at school but it's just not the same.
