I'm not sure I ever got to look inside the bloom of a tulip magnolia - they're either too high on the tree or too closed up in their center. I was surprised to see the detailed inner view.
Beautiful. I love seeing inside the tulip magnolias.
@louannwarren There are two (maybe more) types of magnolias. I always knew the one in this pic, simply as a tulip tree. It is a deciduous tree (loses it's leaves in the winter). You probably know the giant evergreen magnolias that are in the Southern US with their big white flowers. I was shocked to see how big those get when we moved South. They are beautiful.
@homeschoolmom you are correct Lisa! We too call them Tulip trees, I guess I didn’t realize they are a type of Magnolia! We have a huge evergreen Magnolia in our front yard.
Milanie, this is a gorgeous picture! Wonderful focus on those intricate inner-parts. Love the pinks and blues of this photo.
Thanks so much for your interest in my Macro March project and the thoughtful comments you share. The yellow yarn picture of course has a behind the scenes story; it took a bit of time to find a nice looking piece of wood that I could put nail holes in. Of course the one piece I decided on was OAK, so hard to pound nails into. Once I got them in and the string wrapped, I took a "test shot" and knew right away that I didn't like the look of the wood as a background, SO pulled all the nails out, put paper done and pounded the nails in again. Oh boy, the things we do for a 365 pic...
@lyndemc It's your attention to the details like that that make your pictures so awesome - I'm always amazed at how you can vision something before you do it and it comes out beautifully.
