Among the first trees to bloom in New York in late March to Early April are the Magnolias. Star Magnolias first. One bud was growing out of the bottom of the tree trunk.

Lovely photos.
Thanks Aletta
Oh your magnolia blossom are stunning 😀
Thanks Cee. Magnolias are so sculptural.
That bud emerging directly from the trunk is amazing. I’ve never seen such, except in the redbud trees that are designed to function that way.
I thought it was odd too. I know Redbuds flower from branches and trunks.
There are probably more crisp blue skies in New York, as background, than in The Hague. But we got lucky as well: https://www.instagram.com/annebeth2013/?hl=en
Thanks for your Instagram link. I followed you but I am not a regular Instagram user. When I find blue skies boring, I will replace the sky.
