Taken at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on Sunday. Thank heaven Spring is finally here.

Thanks! Yes, I think that's a weeping cherry in the second pic. The first one is a Magnolia of a color I'd never seen before.

Terrific shots, Roy. We have a magnolia in the front yard, but it produces only white blooms - nothing so beautiful as the flower you photographed here.
