Magnolia soulangeana

Magnolia soulangiana, also known as the Tulip Tree in USA or Saucer Magnolia. It is a beautiful tree with the flowers putting out a strong fragrance. Growing up to 30 - 35 feet tall the magnolia likes to live in sun to partial shade.

I see these trees each day during my walks. It is only early spring here in TN, but in the middle of Spring this tree has brilliant white, pink, and purple blossoms. This tree thinks it is later in the season than it is.

The other very common tree here is the Bradford Pear. They are covered in white blossom right now. May blip one shortly.
