The Magnolias are Blooming

As I was walking through the gardens this morning I noticed the first Magnolia blooms had opened. I enjoy the large, fragrant blooms. We have thousands of hydrangeas scattered around the gardens that are just starting to bloom. I love early summer, especially being America's last Romantic-style garden. As one walks around the garden, you can stumble into a young couple saying their vows and beginning their life together. What could be better than being married in such a beautiful and historic place. It renews one's soul to see futures merge with the past.
