Took these snaps yesterday evening in the backyard. Fuji X-T2 w/60mm Rodagon.

I was lucky for a break in the wind and the camera was on a tripod.

Excellent close-ups! They are gorgeous flowers - love seeing the tiny dark veins running through the petals. Close-ups like these really show off the intricate nature of them, though they look great clumped together from a distance, too.

Thanks -- they're popping open really fast now -- two more varieties just today. I'm not going to be able to keep up.

We had a false spring that tricked ours. They no sooner started blooming snd a cold snap got them.

Yep, we lost a whole bunch of magnolias to that cold snap.

Wow! Wonderful shots, but I especially like the first one, the color makes it really pop.
