Magnolia joy
In Pennant Hills, to the North of Sydney NSW Australia, is the Lilian Fraser Garden. This is an urban sanctuary, containing rare and unusual plants. It was an enlightening experience to visit here, where even in our Winter, there was a profusion of blossoms and bird life.
This magnolia flower, bowed with early morning rain, stood out against the background as a ray of sunlight played on it. Inspirational.
