The magnolias are in bloom in Washington. The magnolia blossoms that grow most frequently here look like tulips, so most people call them “tulip trees.” I took a quick walk at lunchtime yesterday, and saw the tulip trees in the park in front of the building where I work, then walked over to Farragut Square, down to the White House and back to work. What a beautiful day!
