magnolia trees
Southern flowering plants
Magnolia trees are flowering trees known for their large, fragrant blossoms and glossy leaves.
Native to Asia and the Americas, they're among the oldest flowering plants, with some species blooming before their leaves emerge in spring.
The trees are prized ornamentals in gardens and landscapes: The magnolia trees along the drive were in full bloom.
In the American South, magnolias carry particular cultural significance, symbolizing the region itself.
