It looks like a saucer magnolia or tulip tree. They are gorgeous.
@Kristen hrm. I wonder which. <3
Yea, I think this is a saucer magnolia. There are different kinds of magnolias all over town. Some are deciduous like these and some are evergreen with dark green glossy leaves. But they all have ridiculous flowers.
Great picture!!

I LOVE those flowers - they're so velvety.
Holy, beautiful. You are such a talented photographer!
