Magnolias


Flowering Magnolias made us think of Beacon Street in Boston. We wonder when they are starting to bloom after a long winter?  Here in Munich's Botanical garden one could admire them in their peak! 


'Augenfreude' is a suitable German word (treat for the eye?) and it comes to mind while slowly walking past the many flowers and plants.  Decorative additions are parrots, manufactured by the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory. They are placed in the different corners of the ornamental courtyard.   
Just like for the plants, signs give the cautionary advice:  Please, do not touch!
