There is one in the small town I grew up in and my father told me its name a long time ago. But I have forgotten. Glorious and huge it is in full bloom for a week.

This is on my mind
This tree blooms in early spring and no one seems to know its name. Some call it a jade magnolia.

We don't have many trees with fragile blooms this large here. In fact, magnolias have a hard time surviving. Do you know what it is?

Mary I have a port wine Magnolia in my garden. The flowers are insignificant but the perfume is quite strong. I'd rather the one you have it's so pretty. I can't help you with the name for this one- maybe if you 'google' magnolia, you will find something.
Maa.
Sorry i do not know the name of the tree, but it's so beautiful!
~~HUGS~~
truly lovely! wish I could help.
It looks like what I have always been told is a tulip magnolia tree. We have them all over. If you google tulip (saucer) magnolia tree images maybe you can see...Good luck and beatiful pics!
I pulled out my "Botanical" book and yours appears to be Magnolia Campbellii OR Magnolia soulangeana (Saucer Magnolia). I'm thinking it's the second one as I have one in my front yard as well.
I have a tree like that in my yard. I've only known it as a magnolia...I never realized there were different types! I learned something new today. Great pictures.
This is what is on my mind today...

WOW! Sorry I can't identify it. But I can certainly envy it.
What a beautiful tree.
We have similar ones in our area that I always admire and envy on my morning walk but I couldn't tell you the name of them.
Good luck with the sleuthing....
Not a clue but it is gorgeous.
The general consensus is a type of magnolia. Wonderful! I have only known the southern type that thrives south of here with the huge single blooms. Thanks to all of you!
What a beautiful tree!! and the pictures look gorgeous on your blog page. I did a little google search--i think that it might be a: Magnolia x soulangeana (japanese tulip magnolia)
I've never seen this type of Magnolia before, but it is gorgeous!
Even if it's exact identity is uncertain it is one lovely tree, with gorgeous blooms - luckily beauty doesn't always need a name.
The flowers on that tree are gorgeous. Thank you for your comment on my post. I honestly have no idea what type of potatoes they are - they were some that had put out shoots from some I got from the supermarket. Regardless of their name they were fabulous.
No idea! It's stunning though, I would be staring at it all day long if it were in our garden! :)
Yes! Independent you and Becky are right. I recalled my father using a reference to Japan but I had forgotton the magnolia part.
That was the missing clue I needed to trigger my memory!
Absolutely beautiful magnolia. Thankyou for such a gorgeous post.
Lovely pictures, and how nice that you found out the name through the other bloggers :D)
