One of my favorite trees is the Magnolia tree. This one is in my back yard.  There are a lot of these trees around Polk County, which I never notice until I owned one myself.  Most of them are blooming up a storm.  I was a little worried about this one because it had blooms on it but they were not blooming.  Well long and behold we got our first one on Monday!  The only thing that smells better than a Magnolia bloom is my wife.  Enjoy your weekend
