Sweet is the fragrance
Which scents the air
Exotic and tropical
Its perfume beguiles
My thoughts are carried
To warmer climes
Belying the chill
Of a Winter’s afternoon…
Prose - Dianne Dawes ...♥
These
photographs were taken in my garden this afternoon. They are the creamy-white
blossoms of Michelia Doltsopa “Silver Cloud”, a compact form of the Michelia
genus and also a member of the Magnolia family. The shrub is evergreen, flowering
profusely from late Winter to early Spring. The flowers have a delicate
tropical, lemon scent; the wood is also fragrant. Please enlarge the images.
Exquisite flowers, excellent soft and delicate, full tones of the beauty of your words!
