Is this a little interesting or just crap

In my opinion it has a lot going for it: I love the repetition, the leading lines, and the abstractness. It could be in better focus.

Nice abstract. Would be interesting with a painterly treatment or in greyscale.

A really good pattern shot. I have seen magnolia trees and this is another great shot showing another aspect of the tree. And took me a little time to recognize the image source. It takes a good photographer looking for and find a new and different view. It doesn't have to be a contest winner to be a totally enjoyable shot.
Oh, and not crap.

Good eye on patterns. You might try doing it in "Painterly" because the focus is soft.

Interesting pattern, but it doesn’t look like any magnolia I’ve ever seen. Looks more like a Yew...

To be honest, if you had taken the same picture in the fall with the usual autumn hues and droplets of dew on the leaves then it would be more photogenic in it's own right. Also way to many leaves all saying the same thing. ??

If you want an abstract photo, this has a lot going for it. If you're putting it out there for general assessment, be advised that abstracts aren't everybody's cup of tea.
It looks like it's been given minimal processing, which means that you've retained a natural look, but that's not always relevant for an abstract. Try putting your abstract hat on and throwing some PP at it. B&W is an option that might be worth a try.

Would you put it on your wall? There’s your answer. If you keep developing your eye and technique for this type of image, that wall space will see a series of images over time.
