I happen to live in Georgia, and while the tree you show is indeed a <i>type</i> of magnolia, it is not the variety that most people in the southern U.S. mean when they say "magnolia" (as in "mint juleps and moonlight and magnolias"). That one, which sports big leaves and huge white flowers that bloom usually in June, is the <i>magnolia grandiflora</i>, while the beautiful tree you have shown (we have them too) is the <i>magnolia soulangiana</i>. In Georgia, however, <i>magnolia soulangiana</i> trees are usually called "tulip trees" although there is a real tulip tree that grows elsewhere and is definitely not the <i>magnolia soulangiana</i>. <br /><br />Georgia is also famous for <a href="http://avagabonde.blogspot.com/2013/04/azaleas-at-callaway-gardens.html" rel="nofollow">azaleas (from Vagabonde's blog)!</a> rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759020785662372535.post-33603652103564042092013-05-04T08:56:54.833-04:002013-05-04T08:56:54.833-04:00That Magnolia is MAGNIFICENT!!!
