Magnolia Soulangiana, aka "Saucer Magnolia"
I think the unopened flower is actually prettier than the full bloom. Nice sweeping curves, more concentrated color.

Looks very similar to our Japanese Magnolia or Tulip Tree They bloomed here about 2 weeks ago. I love them and love to photograph them. This is a lovely capture with great colors.

I agree, I prefer the buds on both these and azaleas (or however you spell them) over the full blooms. Excellent detail on this one and lovely blue sky behind to compliment it.

Great focus on the texture of the petals and lovely colours. I agree with you about the emerging flower and the full bloom.

Love the way the flowers come right out and in my face kinda feel. Pretty pink hues too.

Gorgeous flower, gorgeous capture. I can practically smell it. Reminds me of my grandmother's house when I was a little girl. :)
