Flower Class: Magnolia


One love that I have in life is for floral design.  If I could I would spend all day arranging and playing with flowers, texture, and color.  One type of post you will see often on ALP will be called Flower Lesson.  In these posts I will teach about a new kind of flower, type of design, or simply an arrangement that is just plain beautiful.

Today, lets talk Magnolias.  They are one of my favorite flowers.  They can make a statement whether you use the flower or the leaves or both.  Magnolias are in season during the Spring and Summer months.  They are most easily found in the South growing on trees.  They look gorgeous in a bouquet, or as a stand alone flower.

More Magnolia inspiration here, here, and here.
