Wordless Wednesday #10 (Tuesday Edition): Cherry Tulip Magnolia Blossoms


"Cherry Tulip Magnolia Blossoms"
Washington, DC - April 1998 (Click to embiggen)

Wordless Wednesday - Button Image by Smarmoofus

Since the hibiscus was such a smash hit I thought I'd give flowers another go. One of the more pleasant smelling things in DC is the cherry trees. Which these aren't... I found out courtesy of Kenju. (And she would know!) These are actually Tulip Magnolias. (Boy is my face red!)

I love cherry blossoms they give out one of the most romantic feels when strolling under them :)

Mona said...

Blossoms are always my favorite, any kind of blossom covered tee is like magic! It is like a vision of a fairyland. You stand under one & shake the bark & they shower over you!

Ah! How blissfully sensuous is that!

The photo is beautiful, but that is a tulip magnolia tree, not cherry blossoms.

Mojo said...

Well I'll be dipped in sh*t. That's what the botanically challenged get for relying on memory rather than research.

Jenn in Holland said...

Oh, they are beautiful. I love the saturatation of color in this shot. It completely captivates!

Love this :)

After wondering about Mid Atlantic and wondering why I would want to visit the middle of the ocean, I googled it.

It seems like you Americans cant actually decide what states are classed as Mid Atlantic.

I get all the comments on my blog via email, so yes I got yours and thank you for taking the time to leave such an interesting take on it. It makes sense, but its seeing sense that's the problem with me :)

And I'm gushing...but it's just really nice.
