Beautiful Magnolia blossom spotted on Boyer Ave E in Montlake
The front yard of my house in Italy had a huge Magnolia tree and my mom would take blossoms from the tree and place them throughout the house to fill it with an amazing perfume aroma that now is the smell of summer to me. One brief waft yesterday of this particular blossom brought me back to my childhood in Italy.
Magnolias were also planted throughout the gorgeous campus of my alma mater, Wake Forest. On the Magnolia Quad, you'll find over a dozen giant Magnolia trees and they are such a prominent feature of the campus that my class ring even has a small etching of a magnolia blossom on its side.
(Note: if you want to see this beautiful tree for yourself, click on "Seattle, WA" in the bottom bar of this post to bring up a map of the exact location where this photo was taken.)
