    Love magnolias and this is about the time of year that they grace us with their presence! That one is a big one that you caught!

    A bold and beautiful bud looking so much like a candle shape. Lovely touch of shadows on the leaves framing it.

    Surely that is the evergreen Magnolia grandiflora? A lovely bud and scent to follow.
