One of the Oriental Magnolia's--Yulan, I think. Don Hastings in his Gardening in the South calls these Southern favorites "a blessing and a trial" because of their tendency to bloom early thus sometimes resulting in a tree of brown petals because of a late season freeze.
"A blessing and a trial"---There are many areas of my life that I considered a trial but through God's infinite grace became to be unimagined blessings. Here are some:
- our infertility for 3 years
- financial hardships since 2000
- having to move 4 times in 3 years in 2 different cities
- our small house (1700 square feet)
- my creativity
- homeschooling
