Magnolia Flower

The Magnolia Trees are blooming all over! We don't have one in our yard but just about everyone else does. I think that the Magnolia bloom is one of the most sensual flowers that I can think of.
"Magnolia is a large genus of about 210 flowering plant species in the subfamily Magnolioideae of the family Magnoliaceae. It is named after French botanist Pierre Magnol. Magnolia is an ancient genus. Fossilized specimens of M. acuminate have been found dating to 20 million years ago, and of plants identifiably belonging to the Magnoiaceae date to 95 million years ago!" Wikipedia
