Six years ago, @Madame Buttonfly  and I visited one of our favourite gardens:

https://www.westdean.org.uk/visit

We saw the most amazing Magnolia in full bloom.  We determined to get one for our garden.  There is only one place in The UK that sold this particular species, and it is 200 miles away, so we drove down, stayed over a night or two, and bought the most expensive twig ever 

It has just bloomed for the first time, and the wait was worth it….

Wow, she’s a beaut!  Worth the wait.

I love magnolias! That pink is really stunning.

If you take the windy route….

@sabergirl:

I love magnolias!

We have a few more, here is another pink, about a week away from peak bloom….

[ROman]

Beautiful magnolias. It's amazing the different varieties there are. A neighbor has a similar to yours, which I think they call a tulip magnolia.

Very beautiful color on that magnolia @Giles . Curious if it is a unique species, or a uniquely colored variety? Do you have the species name for it?

[Giles]

Magnolia Sprengeri "Diva"

And this is what made us fall in love with it….

Way back in the early days of Covid times, my wife found insanely cheap flights to Tokyo and booked them as far out as possible, in hopes that the pandemic would be a memory by the time we were supposed to go. Sadly, that turned out to not be the case and we had to cancel. So instead, we are currently in Maui.

People will tell you that Hawaii has no predators, but that's a lie.

Yesterday, we went whale watching, which was great. And while we saw many whales, my photography skills are far, far less impressive than the reality, so I won't inflict them on you…

Out in the snow today.

Hell yeah @mclaincausey. Shirt looks good on you, man. Enjoy your vacation. By the looks of it you already are.
