Well it appears to finally be spring. The trees are blooming. This is some type of "Japanese" tree on our cancer center campus. Had to go out at lunch and enjoy the sun, breeze and the flowers.

Magnolia liliiflora. One of the more beautiful of our early spring-flowering trees is the Japanese magnolia. The Japanese magnolia, or saucer magnolia, opens its fat, furry flower buds in February or March before the foliage emerges. Unlike the native Southern magnolia Magnolia grandiflora, it is deciduous and drops its leaves in winter.
