A Sweetbay Magnolia, first of the season. These are quite small, about the size of a lemon. And in fact, they smell like a lemon. They will bloom in the Spring into Summer and one of my favorites. #sweetbaymagnolia #magnolia #magnoliavirginiana #flower #bestflowershots #Florida #igersstpete #cleargram #lovefl https://www.instagram.com/p/BwLHi2KAjNq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nychbskevfdt

This is a Sweetbay Magnolia bloom, very small but very fragrant. You can identify this variety, one of many, by the whitish green underside of the leaves. These trees can grow up to 40-60 feet in height and can be found alongside the road as well as in formal landscaping plans.  #sweetbaymagnolia #magnolia #flower #bestflowershots #igersstpete #cleargram #lovefl #nature #Florida #loveflowers
