some pictures of magnolias

Here's Jenny studying statistics under the star magnolias in the courtyard.






















Here are the star magnolias back in January, before the frost.








One magnolia bloom, fully open.












Yet another flower, half-open... you can see that it does look like a star.













These are the saucer magnolias, in bud. If they had bloomed, they would've been huge towers of deep pink blooms, like lotus flowers.










One of the flowers is almost open.
