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!
@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.
