What a beauty. And such a unique petal structure!
These flowers (petals) are thick and fleshy to the touch.
This is a #MagnoliaDenudata, the lilytree or Yulan magnolia, native to central and eastern China.
A little bit of info about the #lilytree;
It has been cultivated in Chinese Buddhist temple gardens since 600 AD.
Its flowers were regarded as a symbol of purity in the Tang Dynasty and were planted in the grounds of the Emperor's palace.
It is the official city flower of Shanghai.
