Greetings from Canberra, Australia, on a sunny Spring day
September in my part of the world is very literally 'change of seasons'. All in one day we can have gentle rain, then sunshine and stillness, then a wild wind from the west, coming off the last patches of snow on the Brindabella mountains.
Magnolia soulangeana 'Star Wars'
This is the spectacular magnolia 'Star Wars'. She doesn't have many flowers. Her focus is grandeur. There are more photos in the slideshow on the right.

Other magnolias are flowering now. This one is magnolia soulangeana 'Alexandrina.' She has masses of flowers and looks wonderful beside the prunus 'elvins', just coming into bloom.
Prunus 'elvins'
