Emerging Magnolia flowers on the tree in my garden. The first photo was taken on 10 August, the second photo (of the same bud) was taken, today, 15th August.
And when I turned around this bloom has almost fully emerged without me noticing it. It is higher on the tree and receives more sunshine and light.

That is so lovely. I love the color 🙂
It is a rich colour Judy. IF the sun would come out and the rain would stop we would see the buds opening to show their inner beauty.
Magnolias are magnificent! and there’s that wonderful scent!
Thanks Ruth. This is an aged tree but it faithfully covers itself in beautiful flowers every spring.
What a difference a few days make. Great photos Lynley.
Thanks Judith. I think if the sun was out more the flowers would be opening very quickly. But it has been interesting to record progress so far.
