These are slow growing shrub-like trees native to Japan. Their showy flowers are either white or light pink sometimes both. They normally have at least a dozen or more petals on each bloom and bloom in early spring before they have leaves. This was taken this morning while running errands with my little compact Nikon.

Wonderful capture of these very special magnolia's Kathy.
These Star Magnolia's are unknown to me, so your very fine image was a big surprise. Perfectly done, my friend!

Good capture Kathy. They do look different from the normal white magnolias.

Like a diamond, it's beautiful regardless of how you view it.

A new one for me as well. Certainly flowers prolifically.

That's quite the morning walk you had, all the way from Chicago to Japan. A nice capture of the blooms, Kathy. Good lighting and colours in the photo.
