'TREE WATCHER''S TREE FOLLOWING REPORT FOR MAY - MAGNOLIA

Top of pink magnolia tree in full blossom against a blue sky.


Two months have flown by and my Magnolia has gone from budding to flowering to just leaves, leaving a pink carpet on the ground.

Mid March found it in full bloom. This brings the year of following this tree pretty much full circle.

Individual magnolia flowers.










It wasn't the only thing in bloom. The warmer, lengthening days brought out many other things as well. Especially in April, as seen below.

Red rhododendron flower with leaves around

The Rhododendron is the state flower of Washington state. They come in many colors, blooming at different times. 

Lots of red rhododendron flowers in a row.



They are very woody plants, some getting as tall as smaller trees!


Plant with long leaves and (bottlebrush style?) flowers against blue sky




During a walk in a local wetland park area, I found this lovely specimen, standing tall into the blue sky.


Double trunked tree.




So many things coming to life in the spring! Who will be my next tree? 



Maybe this beautiful Eucalyptus on the bluff? I don't know.





We had a lovely evening strolling along the bluff, cameras ready, waiting for the perfect sunset.

Trees with tall, thin trunks and sunset beyond water.

And it didn't disappoint!
