Flowering!

The silver maples have flowered into little brown balls, and the red maple buds have opened up a little, but for the most part, the trees are bare an wintry.  Imagine my surprise then when I was walking along Wednesday, March 16, and I saw this:


I came back Thursday, March 17 to take the photo.  As far as I can tell, it's a magnolia.  This one is by the entrance to the Pittsburgh building, facing south.  I have noticed several other magnolia around campus which have not yet flowered, but they are not in such a sunny location.
