Native to Eastern Asia - Japan, Korea. A small tree. With white cup shaped flowers with purple red stamens. Almost look like mini lotuses. The flowers are fragrant, but I did not notice it in the rain!

Beautiful flower. I remember seeing something like this, but pink in color.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that it is available in pink too, but not sure if it is this variety of Magnolia
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bloom. The second picture is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have a collection of magnolias, and M. sieboldii (and the very similar M. wilsonii--takes more shade) are my favorites. I have featured it in several GBBD posts. I haven't seen it in pink. M. stellata, which is a little similar, comes in pink.
