It doesn't look like the magnolias I've seen. Typically the bloom would by more cupped shaped - something between this image and a tulip and brilliant white. That being said I think and the center crown is very similar. It might be some sort of Yankee cousin or in this case an asian member of the same family... :woohoo:

I'll look for a photo of a magnolia in my archives...




Not my best work... these are from 2000 and shot with a Sony Mavacia - my first digital camera!

Cornus kousa. It called the Chinese Dogwood, Korean Dogwood, or Japanese Dogwood depending on where you're from.

I really love the way that you captured this one John!

It is what it is.
