Today's Flowers: Chase Those Magnolia Blossoms

IMG 1905

On Easter Sunday, I went for a short walk in around Waterbury before church. At the corner of Church and Grand, I saw this beautiful magnolia in bloom outside the Chase Building, an architectural gem designed by Cass Gilbert.

  21. Magnolias and lilacs scream "SPRING" much louder than any other blossoming tree or bush. So pretty in front of such a lovely building.

  22. This magnolia really has a place for itself here. Very pretty indeed.

  23. A garden classic. I like one like this with a bit of darker pink in them.

    I do think the Chase Building is beautiful and go back to a different era of design and construction.

  25. Sandy: We had a few trees bloom too early and have gotten burned from the frost. Yours are beautiful.

  28. Lovely magnolia. When they are out in spring, we are often on the road and driving around the backstreets of country towns to enjoy them in the old gardens . In cities of a few million, the lovely old gardens have long ago given way to high rises.
