Lovely blossoms, Gabi.
The magnolia blooms in my yard are white.
Thanks for sharing.

What a great last line.
sway ... It links more efectively with "just that," at least to my ear.

Love it, Gabi. Those magnolias bloom here in late Winter in australia.
Very nice, subtle showing of the direction of the unmentioned breeze, since 'before' is ambiguous here, showing relative time just as likely as it the magnolia buds' position in relation to the bamboo.
...so 'just that' involves more than 'just that'
