Magnolias Poems - Poems about Magnolias

Twenty years ago this month I was in Enid A. Haupt Garden, a manicured garden surrounded by two rows of saucer magnolia trees. The magnolious large, cup shaped flowers showcasing breathtaking display of white or pinkish-purple petals with outer petals of darker shade of pink or purple.

The heady scent of summer nights will glorify a lady much adored; musky premonitions of an unrequited love, a passion much too deep to be ignored.
