MAGNOLIA

I'm not sure Magnolias are suppose to flower in autumn.
I had to squeeze the camera between the pool fencing and look up at this small shrub in a pot.  Such magnificent flowers and the leaves with their velvety undersides are sublime.
More housework today - a little over the top now - I may have pushed it out to August before it happens again, LoL.
Thanks Anni for hosting Flower Friday.  These leaves are the best I could manage this afternoon.
Lovely to have your comments and stars for the beach scene yesterday.
