Hiding in the Middle

I find the tulip tree bloom hard to shoot - and they look good for such a short time. Their color is so pretty though. Caught this bud opening down low in the center of the tree.

True and if a storm or hard rain comes through they seem demolished. Good shot of the bud opening.

Amazing colour. You called it a tulip tree, is that a Magnolia?

Neat capture and rich color

Very nice. Subtle yet stands out. I took a picture of a similar flower last week. I thought it might be a pink variety of magnolia. I've never heard of a tulip tree befofe. Lovely.

Lushous colour and great capture.

After being gone for a week, I'm expecting to come home to a fully bloomed tulip tree. You've captured this one beautifully.

@mbrutus This is a member of the magnolia family, you're right.

@milaniet Thank you. It's good to know I'm not always as dumb as I look.

They look so soft.

[Susan]

I do too, I posted a shot of one too. Like the deep punk color of yours.

[Connie Little]

Love the colour of the flower. Great capture.
