The Pink Magnolias are blooming everywhere I look this week!
They are such a beautiful spring time icon in my little village
and surrounding towns! We called them tulip trees when I
was young. The flowers really do look like tulips blooming
on a tree, don't they?
I'm all linked up with the A to Z Challenge!

well, you came to the right place today! :)
DeleteThose are so beautiful. We call them Tulip Trees too.
ReplyDeletedo you? I haven't heard anyone in years call them that...but I like it!
DeleteLove the magnolias. I haven't seen them around here yet. All we have are the spring storms!
ReplyDeletewe had one of those this morning!
DeleteSpringtime in the South is what I miss ; cherry blossoms, magnolias, tulip trees, redbuds, azaleas, camellias all of which thrive in the warm early Spring. N.H. doesn't warm up til May.
ReplyDeletewe aren't much further south than you! May is almost here!
DeleteWell you do have shades of pink, and lovely shots too. Just finished cleaning up after Eat and Pray...think I'll hit the bed...have my written DMV test tomorrow morning...Been studying all week!
ReplyDeletegood luck! ...wow, I don't think we ever have to take the written part again. At least I hope not! hahaha.
DeleteThey are beautiful, Betsy! We are getting more snow today so I a enjoying everyone else's flowers and blossoming trees.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! Stay warm! :)
DeletePerfect photos.
ReplyDeletethanks, alan! But I'm really liking your 'painting' of Amy!
DeleteYour photos really seem to capture the beauty.
ReplyDeletewell, thanks o'leary :)
DeleteI just love all the colors of Spring, especially Pink!
ReplyDeleteMy heart belongs of a little girl who just loves Pink.
So pretty in pink!
ReplyDeletePink can't be far off for us either. There are daffodils everywhere!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I live in Wisconsin? Seriously!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are beautiful Betsy, such wonderful colours.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful shades of pink. Pink is my second favorite color : ) I always called these tulip trees, too.
ReplyDeleteI really love pink, too...but I really love the very pale shade!
DeleteThey are one of my favorites! I look forward to seeing you huge Magnolia in bloom every year! I have one in my front yard...but it is about the size of Sam! :)
ReplyDeleteIt seems to be sparse this year...I'm hoping the rest opens up!
Deleteand yours will grow! ha. I wish I could transplant mine to a better location in our yard!
DeleteVery pretty pictures!
ReplyDeleteShawn at Reading Practice

DeletePink is all around at your rink
ReplyDeleteAnd in I slink
A bit late
But still here at any rate
you had me so worried
DeleteI almost ate curry
which would have been bad
cuz I hate it just a tad.
hahaha.
Beautiful, you are so far ahead of us, here daffodils are just about to bloom. It has ben a really cold spring so far. That pink bloom reminds me of the my old white house on the hill, I had a Japanese cherry tree right in front of my east bound windows.;)
ReplyDeletexoxo
Hi Betsy .. ours are coming out too - well the ones in Buckingham Palace as I bussed past yesterday! It's on its way .. but being in the pink properly with a little pink on the temperature gauge would be just lovely!
