Southern Magnolia - Ponte Vedra Beach Florida - Whiteiswhite Wednesday - Haiku
Today's whiteiswhite challenge theme is FLOWERS – everyone's favorite, I believe!
sweet magnolia
you are purity and grace
pride of the deep south
In the springtime in Florida, nothing pleases me more than to see the white blooms of the Southern Magnolia (Magnolia Grandiflora) contrasting against the dark green leaves way up high in the magnolia trees. The perfume of the blooms is heavenly!

Thanks for taking the time to read this! I truly appreciate it. Read some of my past photography tips and tutorials at photography-101.
the shot looks amazing, thanks for sharing.
Magnolia's are one of my favorite flower's.
Very pretty photo, thank you for sharing this moment with us.
It's very beautiful.. I love it
Great shot! The placement of the Magnolia against the blue sky further emphasizes its pure whiteness. Very nice!
Great photo. Of course it makes me start singing this:
Beautiful shot! I love the perspective from down below with the light coming through the petals.
Thanks! I have many shot at the traditional angles, but this one is different!
Wow!! This is beautiful! You have great eyes! Nice shot
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing @dmcamera
That is such a beautiful flower, the white is really rich and creamy. I love the angle you chose as well - really highlights the flower and quite different as well
