Though I love to hike and take landscape photos in the desert, I want to add color to my world (wildflowers are not in bloom yet). I went to the Los Angeles Arboretum yesterday while everyone else was watching the Super Bowl. I came home in time for the half-time show.
Spring started early at The Arboretum started. One section has lots of pink and while magnolias, of different varieties too. Some petals fell on the ground, some buds still sprouting.
It was a warm high 70′s weather, its great to be outdoors!
The magnolia tree was named after a French botanist from the 1600s named Pierre Magnol, and is a tree that has 90 different species in the U.S. alone. This flower has been associated with beauty and perseverance, as well as dignity and nobility.
