Spent...

Could not resist one final shot of the Magnolia.. I have had a bunch of this beautiful Vulcan Magnolia in a vase and today they have been dropping their petals but I thought they still have in the centre with the stamens falling .. Used my 50mm and 36mm extention this time...

Every stage is a remarkable sight Julz...such a rich, formal looking flower, almost flower royalty!

@happypat It was 'breed' by Felix Jury in the Taranaki not sure if it is available in the UK .. it is a very upright tree so does not take up too much room .. pity I can't grow them in my garden as we are too exposed to salt winds..

Great detail...makes me want to look closer at those things growing around me.

Goodness me, this has such a wonderfully abstract feel to it. The colours are amazing.
