We call these Japanese magnolias. A week ago all the trees were falling from ice, this week they are blooming.

Bob: Great minds think alike; I've been shooting these like crazy in my yard the past few days and having a blast. We call them Jane Magnolias but I have no clue as to which is correct. I like this somewhat chaotic scene and can also see a bunch of tighter crop possibilities. Hope you keep 'em coming. >=))>

Looks like a very pretty tree with lots of great flowers. I think a bit of a tighter shot to unclutter the BG a bit would help.

Bill both names are used, although Japanese magnolia is a bit of a misnomer, since it came originally from China. The name "Japanese magnolia" came about because it was imported into English-speaking countries from Japanese cultivars of the Chinese originals. Bob, I agree with Nathan.

Hi Bob

I too think a crop would make this even better

I really enjoy the fine natural colors and detail
