6/14/2011 8:11:35 PM

A beautiful look at the center of the Magnolia flower. They are amazing in their white colors. I love the fact that they have such unique and interesting shapes to them and you captured that so beautifully here. Another interesting thing about them is the way their looks will change. I love them when they have the red seeds to. Gorgeous work on this most favorite Southern flower my friend.
Have a most wonderful day.
