The Magnolia Susan, photographed in my hometown of Culemborg, against a background of grey sky.
On this day in late March 2025, it was cloudy and there was beautiful soft light, putting all the focus on the flower shape.

Magnolia Susan blooms with beautiful dark pink flowers. Slightly tighter in shape than its familiar relative with the soft pink, rounder forms.
Magnolia stands for timeless beauty and elegance. Her flowers are transient, as they can only be admired for a short time each year, but thanks to photography, you can enjoy them all year round.
