RUBY INVESTMENT PAYS OFF!

magnolia ruby, in my garden for about 6 years now, has bloomed most mightily this year, with just a little brown from the cold.  
m. ruby has flowers 9 inches across!
you can see some cold damage on these flowers, but wow!
i'm ga ga, i want to take portraits of each flower.
m. ruby in the morning.
yet another flower; hence my title, gf.
next, m. daybreak will bloom!

Wow, 9 inches! That's remarkable, and that coloring is absolutely glorious! You must be in seventh heaven gazing upon such beauty. I would be :) And boy, is Ruby photogenic! You've taken some truly beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing the beauty :)
