Stages

Starting at the top left. the flower Magnolia. Top right, seed pod from the flower. Bottom left seed pod as it matures. Bottom right, mature pod with seeds emerging.

I posted the top two earlier this year but the bottom two I took today. I have never noticed the pods turn from green to pink before and had forgotten the seeds are red until I got these two shots tonight!
Interesting life cycle- they're even more colorful when they're coming to an end. Well done on the collage!

@olivetreeann @milaniet @dutchothotmailcom @shutterbug49 @madamelucy @monikozi @marilyn @ludwigsdiana @mcsiegle @gijsje @taffy @tunia I am so happy you liked this and found it interesting. We have had the tree for many years and I think I might just be discovering its many phases too. Thank you for your appreciation and your positive comments

This is all from the same tree? Love the story and it is beautiful. For me I struggle with doing collages this is great.

@myhrhelper It is from the same tree but at different times. The last two however I took on the same day. Thank you so much. I find it funny that you struggle with collages

Great collage of the stages of the magnolia. My old house had a huge magnolia tree and I loved watching the blossoms change. The bluejays used to eat the seeds.

@eudora I didn't know that about the bluejays and that probably explains why we have some now when we never used too! Thanks Diane!
