magnolia blossom

visited a friends wonderfully rambling garden today. Everything was bursting into life

[Louise & Ken]

This is the most beautiful magnolia I've ever seen! The petals are like other varieties, but the center is so different and absolutely gorgeous! (Translated: I love rambling "foreign" gardens with you!)

[Anna]

Beautiful detail!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

This is a different look than the ones I'm used to seeing. That center is stunning! Pretty shot!

[Babs]

Beautiful shot, love the waxy petals.

[Shirley]

Beautiful shot and I love that it's not quite perfect with the hole having been chewed out of the leaf. Fav
