Description

This is the remnants of a magnolia blossom from a tree in my yard. Weird huh? I'd never realized how strange they looked this close. I tried to get a fresh bloom but they were too high in the tree and I havn't learned to fly yet. ;)

That is kinda funky looking. Had no idea they looked like that in the center, either. Nice discovery! :)

Very very beautiful photo, Sunny!! Excellent macro work also!! You should come to Memphis, here there are 1 or 2 magnolia trees in every yard along with weeping willows and Spanish moss. Super photography!!

Magnolia trees are cool, they grow all over my campus. The pistils look like they have little tongues sticking out, I guess those are called anthers.
