Thanks Sully. I thought so and wanted to share. They last about 2 days then petals turn brown and drop. Sometimes they produce red seed if pollenated by the magnolia beetle.

Thanks JAP. Good and whomever owns that corner can clean up the leaves which can be messy. This one is in the backyard which is pretty much naturalized.
