Magnolia tree

Last year we bought a magnolia tree to put in our front flower garden. In the fall when we had the big storm, one of the casualties was the top of the magnolia tree. It snapped right off. I've worried a bit about this tree. It has an odd shape and looks much more like a bush than a tree, but I was so happy to notice this morning after taking kids to school that it had flowered. A nice big beautiful flower to give me a smile for the day.
