Magnolia fall colour

At this time of year, I don't recall our Magnolia soulangeana  being quite so colourful.

The seed pods are many and varied.

Some rather grotesque looking.

A contrast in colour is added as the pods split open to reveal bright red seeds.

Although not as spectacular as individual flowers,

or as a whole.

At this time of year, I'll take colour in the garden wherever I can find it.
