Saw this...plant (or flower?) while walking this past weekend. It's native to the midwest, US - or at least Oklahoma. It was a tree and not a bush. Anyone know what it is? Thanks. :-)

it's a Magnolia.

Wow, that was a quick response. Thanks sher9204. Shows you how much I know about plants. (hoping my embarassment is hidden behind the red flower).

nothing to be embarassed about! :-)

that's a seed pod from a Magnolia gradiflora, sometimes called a Southern Magnolia.

Looks like one to me. My mother-in-law has one in her front yard but the seed pods are a different color.

One thing that threw me was it was next to this pine tree and (ok, don't laugh too hard) I thought maybe it was some mutant Oklahoma thing, having moved to this state a year ago. :D

Thanks for the link too, sher - very informative.
