Already in bloom

The magnolias in Lincoln Park, less than a block from our house, have started to bloom. Just amazing, and worrisome. It’s forecast to get to 79 F on Thursday, unheard of in February in DC. I checked old pictures, and that tree usually blooms from mid to late March...

Nicely composed with the stem coming in from the left and the petals facing the sun. V

Star magnolia is so beautiful. My neighbor across the street has two of these shrubs and almost every year the flowers get frost bitten and just shrivel up. I hope she will have a few more days of their beauty. V.

It looks very lovely, but it is still frightening they are blooming so early. I hope this year is just an aberration. V

Wow, that is very early, even for your area!! I hope you don't get another cold blast later, but I also wonder, if the Magnolias are blooming now, will other trees also bloom too early. V
