Japanese Magnolia
For the record. Photographing one or more Japanese Magnolia blooms per year has grown to be a tradition. A spell of very cold weather moved into north Alabama just as buds covered one of my "favorite" trees. I waited to see if some blooms would be salvaged. Finally a few unharmed blooms appeared and I tried to get one worthy of posting. Changes in traffic patterns over the last couple of years presented even more of a challenge. For spring of 2022, here's the bloom.
