Description

It was right after closing time at Tower Hill Botanic Garden.We were in the parking lot getting ready to leave, when I spotted this magnificent magnolia, just calling out to me. the lighting was perfect and I was lucky to get a few shots before we had to leave. I've never seen a magnolia quite like this one before, and our timing was perfect!

From the Bower and Branch Web site:

"If you could choose only one Magnolia to have in your garden, the breathtaking Daybreak Magnolia would have to be a prime contender for the spot. This captivating ornamental tree will deliver the Wow Factor to your landscape and stop people in their tracks. In mid- to late spring, after the earliest Magnolias have finished blooming and when a frost is no longer likely, its huge (8 to 10 inch!) blossoms will burst from fat and fuzzy Pussy-Willow-like buds. The spectacular blooms are rose-pink on the outside and lighter pink within, and they smell divine."

Processed in Photoshop with Topaz Studio and several textures.
