| The big-leaf magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla) is blooming this week. |
 |
| The trunk and branches are spindly. The leaves and flowers are big! You will need to gently pull the leaves down to get a better look at the beautiful flower. |
 |
| Flowers petals are long, large and droopy. |
 |
| The flowers are brilliantly white, but for a short while. It seems like this flower lasted only a single day before yellowing. There are more buds higher up, but a ladder would be necessary for studying the flowers, as the leaves mostly obscure the blooms. |
