Hogg Mansion

Ok so while Avarie Reid and I were in Houston we went to this Mansion with Kristin and Daniel that has these amazing gardens. Nothing was flowereing except the Magnolia trees and they weren't in full bloom yet. The gardens were amazing! I cannot even imagine the up keep it would take.

The house from as close as I could get and still get most of the home in the picture. It was huge. Funny note: The owners were the Hogg family 2 brothers and a sister built the home. Shortly after it was built one of the brothers got married and the other died , so their siste Ima Hogg was the sole resident (yes her name was Ima hogg) mean huh? but funny.

These two are Magnolia blossom. They are these huge trees that have these large blosssoms. The blossoms would fill a large mixing bowl. They are gorgeous and smell wonderfull. The blossom above is not fully opened but the one below is fully open
