🌸 Some trees are definitely more than just trees … Every year I wait for this magnificent display of my mums magnolia tree back where I grew up in Ferntree Gully. It’s absolutely stunning….
For about a week 🤣🌸 …… without fail the late winter early spring winds seem to arrive at exactly the same time. The buds finally open and before you know it they’ve all blown away!
My dad planted this tree for my mum back in the 1960s when they built their family home. Dads had been gone for now for 30 years so seeing the tree flower every year is a little reminder of him. So some trees are more than just trees, they become part of peoples homes, memories and lives ❤️
Happy Father’s Day to all the dad‘s grandads and father figure figures however you celebrate this weekend❤️
And Dad your magnolia is still putting on a pretty good show 🌸
