Cellpic Sunday: “Bigleaf” 5/17/26

Photos taken with my always-there and trusty cell phone.

On a recent trip up to Atlanta, Robert and I ventured over to the city’s Westside Park — Atlanta’s largest green space, built on the site of the former Bellwood Quarry, featuring a massive reservoir that serves as an emergency water supply

As we were hiking toward the reservoir, we came upon this tree and its blooms …

What drew my rapt attention were the big leaves and the flowers that looked so much like our Southern Magnolia.

So I asked my friend iNaturalist for help:

What a fitting name for the lovely tree!
