from narrow tapered buds
the flowers open loose
petals free falling

their footprints
catch tiny puddles

The fallen petals would indeed make fragrant work for a floral podiatrist! 🙂

I love magnolia trees. They’re a spring greeting.

  Yes. Ours is totally different to a neighbour’s. Hers have fat globe like buds that haven’t opened yet. Hers is also a darker purple. But they’re all wonderful.
