Magnificent Magnolia Print with Gift Box

MAGNIFICENT MAGNOLIA | Queensland, Australia, 2023

The only way I know how to stop time is to photograph it.

Once these beautiful Magnolia blooms are cut from the branch they only last a day or so. Their beauty is so fleeting, and their sweet fragrance lingers and drifts on the air at home. 

My mother grows Magnolias in her front garden and she gives me the precious blooms to me once the bud begins to unfurl.

This particular flower is from Mum's garden and is a magnificent example of the natural beauty of Magnolias.

I displayed this stem in a vintage seashell vase on my mantle at home and photographed the beauty as it unfolded over a few hours.

I love how this still life print feels so old world and nostalgic.
