Last snowfall of the season

Taken April 17, 2020 out my front door. Fortunately the northern varieties of saucer Magnolias don't seem to mind the snow or ice, even when already in bloom. The latest snowfall I've had here was the year before that on April 27th.

Snow on the magnolia flowers has been getting more common for me. I don't mind it though, I actually think it's pretty. Yes, cold too! Hilarious! It usually doesn't last more than a day and night, next day the sun starts melting it. Unless it decides to snow again.

So beautiful the blooms againsr the snow makes the freezing 🥶 temps a little bit appealing! Great banner Nancy! I tip my hat to you.

Snow and flowers--such a contrast. Makes a great picture. Smiling Seems like what usually happens to the magnolia blooms around here is they just get hit with a shot of really cold air. Glare
