Entire front of the house.

Left front of the house, showing den and unattached garage.

Right front of the house showing a magnolia tree starting to bloom.

The cucumber magnolia is the only one of the six common types in the US that blooms as far north as Michigan. But it is said to have a greenish yellow flower, whereas the ones shown have a pinkish cast. So it's not clear at this time whether this is some kind of hybrid or just what.

An ice storm about a week before the photos were taken brought down a lot of branches in the neighborhood. Those shown have been collected for removal.
