[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is what is left of a once beautiful magnolia blossom.
Having evolved before bees appeared, the flowers of the magnolia tree developed to encourage pollination by beetles. As a result, the carpels of Magnolia flowers are tough, to avoid damage by eating and crawling beetles. Another primitive aspect of Magnolias is their lack of distinct sepals or petals. The term tepal has been coined to refer to the intermediate element that Magnolia has instead.
