Sweet Magnolia

I cut a magnolia blossom off of a tree of an abandoned house next to my workplace.  Man did it smell pretty.  I put it in a glass and came home from work the next day and it had completely opened up.  I took a picture of it because it made my kitchen sink window look so pretty.  Also included are orchids from Mother's Day, one of my sewing projects (curtains if you couldn't guess), one of two kinds of shamrocks, the prefect summer fruit and a super "B" bargain from Anthropologie.  I came home from work the next day and it was completely brown.  the light that burns the brightest........
