Photography by Geri Glavis.
Pink magnolias in bloom at Sara P. Duke Gardens, Durham, North Carolina.Growing as a multistemmed large shrub or small tree, Magnolia �soulangeana has alternate, simple, shiny, dark green oval-shaped leaves on stout stems. Its flowers emerge dramatically on a bare tree in early spring, with the deciduous leaves expanding shortly thereafter, lasting through summer until autumn.[2]
Magnolia �soulangeana flowers are large, commonly 10�20 cm (4�8 in) across, and colored various shades of white, pink, and maroon. The exact timing and length of flowering varies between named varieties, as does the shape of the flower. Some are globular, others a cup-and-saucer shape.
