I believe the tree these flowers were on is called the Jane Magnolia.
I was at the Fullerton (California) Arboretum last weekend and saw this tree in full bloom!
What a beautiful sight it is.
But...the name of this tree was no where to be found, that I could see.
So...the handy dandy internet helped.
I think I matched these images correctly.
CORRECTION:
Now that I have seen better photos, I am sure this is NOT the Jane Magnolia Tree.
I'll continue my search...
Thank you, Arija, from Garden Delights!
I now know it is an Orchid Tree!

So lovely. I only recently realized how many different magnolias there are. Good detective work finding out what it is. I'm terrible at doing that.
What would we do without the internet. When the guide books fail me that is the next place I turn.
It is a lovely flower.
I believe you did! I never heard of a Jane magnolia, it's beautiful!
Thanks for the visit!
Absolutely beautiful. I wish I could grow something like that in my climate.
Gorgeous flowers and photos :)
Quite a capture with the dappled light and gentle purple shades.
I think you got it right. The other one is deep in color but they look almost the same. Internet helps a lot!! Happy weekend!

I like these mangolia flowers. We have an mangolia tree in our garden,and it blooms in early spring.
Very beautiful macros! One of my favorite flowers too!
thats beautiful - it looks like an orchid bloom. I've never seen a tree blossom like that before. Great shots
Amazing macros and blooms and they really look like orchids.
What a gorgeous purple-burgundy color and you've captured all those veins so perfectly.
Thanks for this lovely contribution to Macro Flowers Saturday!
these are lovely flowers.thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your research, I do not even know the name of this flower.
And 200% or more TYs for your nice compliments. I have been up and about and getting too much tan going out for photo ops. And especially for this hot weather. I am getting ready to do a hike at the beach today to get some cool air.
With your adventures and mine, we might bump into each other.
Beuatiful colors and blossom. Thanks, Carolyn for sharing these pretty flowers.
Whatever it's called it is quite stunning. It must have been a real picture in full bloom.
The magnolia blooms are gorgeous. I also love the flowers peeping through the fence in the next post.
wonderful colours, light & shadows! a little masterpiece!
In Australia it is commonly called an Orchid Tree. They certainly are splendid in full bloom with their delicate perfume as well.
Stunning shots!
Delicious flowers. it's no doubt they're associated with orchids.
Regardless of its name, it is a stunning blossom!
