Photo: Pink Magnolia Tree Blossoms in DC

Pink Magnolia Blossoms Photo

I happened to be visiting Washington D.C. at the same time as the National Cherry Blossom Festival last weekend. Although I couldn't make it to the Tidal Basin to dance under the pink Yoshino cherry trees, I did swoon over several other beautiful blossoms. The tulip-shaped petals on the pretty pink magnolia tree above were my favorite. And if you follow me on Instagram, you already know how tickled pink I was to spy a giant Care Bear balloon lining up for the parade.

    Magnolia Trees are so pretty! I miss the big ones in Savannah, GA. In Nebraska they are dwarf sized.

    The magnolias are so lovely!
    I grew up outside of Washington, so I did get to see the cherry blossoms a few times.

    What gorgeous photography. My #WordlessWednesday is on the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin in DC. It looks like you saw beautiful splendor regardless. Have a great day!

    Lovely picture. For many years I never realized that those pink blossomed trees were magnoilas, where I lived in So. Calif people simply called them Tulip trees. But as the famous bard, Shakespeare, wrote " "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
    By any other name would smell as sweet."
