Leaves look like a magnolia but it does not do pink. Appears to be photoshopped.

That is what I thought too... But I was thrown off since the photo came from my friends mom, and she told him they are in her yard in LA.... I need to ask her if this  is an actual photo that she took or one she found online. Thank you!

There is something called a Pink Magnolia, but it is a deciduous(looses its leaves in winter) tree that is a cross between Magnolia and Soulangeana with may species. Its leaves look entirely different than the ones in your picture which look like Magnolia grandiflora.  In addition, the flower in you picture looked more like a Magnolia Grandiflora.  Although there are pictures of this cross that are more pink, this is a picture of the cross.  Hope this helps.  Let me know if it is real.  Sure never saw it.
