Blooming Early

Early blooming Japanese Magnolia coaxed this blog out of hibernation

 into what appears to be a very early spring! 

This photo was taken in mid-January!

 Since starting Selma, Ala., Photo almost 10 years ago,

 I have posted the first blooms of what we call "tulip trees."

 The previous early date was Feb. 7, 2012, and here is a photo

 of the blooms at the same house on Feb. 22, 2008.

 In 2010, they did not appear until March!
