Magnolia is not a bright white as pictured. There is a subtle lavender blush to it. Living in the south this somewhat disturbs me as the flowers are bright white in reality. As I have it on lavender wall, it looks good. Picture is designed to be hung vertically as shown (flower doesn't look right other way) but the hanger was placed for it to be hung horizontally. Added a new hanger which was easy enough and it looks good. Just wish it was white and didn't like having to do the extra stop at store to hang it but like it so won't return.
