Magnolia Grandiflora

Today I was given this from a dear friend.........this is my all time FAVORITE flower.

It's hard to describe what happens when I breath in its lemony fresh fragrance , watch it open and close............I know every step of it's flowering right to the end...... the petals have fallen off leaving the center dripping with a honey like liquid.

I find this flower perhaps the most erotic............ It also reminds me of a very big heart opening to its fullness.
