Magnolia

I got this star magnolia for father's day 4 years ago.  It's a fantastic little thing, it's all bare sticks then suddenly one day in late April I'll look out and it's covered with brilliant white blooms.  No leaves just flowers, and it smells wonderful.  It's kind of a weird root beer scent but it's great.  It's officially spring...finally!
So out come the flash and macro tubes!

...and I had to shoot our easter tulips before they became so depressed that their heads hit the table.
