In the back yard of my daughter's house stands the most beautiful magnolia tree, laden down with beautiful blossoms in the spring. I found this magnolia pod and liked the texture. I will crack it open to see the seeds, which are, I think, red. Should you have a pod and want to grow a magnolia tree, just google 'magnolia pod' and you'll see how.
See other Ds on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.
NOTE: A big THANK YOU to blogger Alain, who informed me that this tree's name is named for the French botanist Pierre Magnol (June 8, 1638 – May 21, 1715) from Montpellier, France.

The first shot made me think it was something under water.
I wonder how hearty a magnolia tree would be in MN? I think I'd better check the link you suggested.
I do love magnolias and I miss so much the one we had in California... the color, the odor, the view everything.
Un magnolia a Seattle? Inhabituel, non?
Nice macro. I remember the magnolias blooming in Seattle.
Beautiful Pat.

C'est l'arbre de Magnol, un Montpelliérain.

Excellent closeup!
Gorgeous macro!
Amazing details!
In the neighborhood I grew up, the streets are lined with magnolias and when we were kids, we liked to step on the seeds to hear it crackle.
