In some places, I understand, the magnolia tree is a default landscape setting, just part of the background. Hereabouts, they are each a little miracle. I saw this one this evening for the first time, though I've known its owners for decades. Mike, its main caretaker, tells me it has been blooming for almost six weeks, since late April. It's at Peak Magnolia, though; leaves are starting to show now, so I think the flowers will start falling soon.
