Magnolia grandiflora.
With perfect waxy blooms, the magnolia grandiflora in our garden has performed well this year giving us a number of blooms at eye level that I can never resist photographing. Having just opened, this specimen was in peak condition before the pollinators get in and also smelling wonderfully. It may seem a good chance to go B&W but I rather like like the subtle yellowish / off white colour of the petals and so have left this in colour.
