My Magnolia tree is covered in blooms but they are all too high up to get a proper photo. This side view will have to do today. For the half and half challenge.
@happypat they turn this color just before their petals fall away. They are kind of like suede leather when you pick them up, fuzzy and a bit heavy. Not dainty flower petals, for sure.
I had never noticed until this year the way they turn that lovely color of brown - we don't have many magnolia trees nearby, but I've become more aware of the few I do spot.
