One of my favorite Spring-flowering trees is the Japanese Magnolia Tree. You may know it as a "Tulip tree," or a "Saucer Magnolia tree" ... but whatever you call it, it is truly breathtaking this time of year.

I found one yesterday in a quiet residential area of Vicksburg, and spent a few minutes capturing some closeup shots with my camera.

Aren't they exquisite! — and no two are alike.

You can see in this last picture why it is also called a "Saucer Magnolia."

Best wishes to you for a weekend filled with signs of Spring popping out all over — like these glorious flowers.
