Magnolia and the Bandstand!

A happy morning volunteering at Saughton Park Physic garden, it was very companionable and we got some good garden done.  The Magnolia tree in my bed is looking stunning, not that I can take any credit!
The medicinal benefits of magnolia seem to be as follows-
Magnolia is used for weight loss, problems with digestion, constipation, inflammation, anxiety, stress, depression, fever, headache, stroke, and asthma. Magnolia flower buds are used for stuffy nose, runny nose, common cold, sinus pain, hay fever, headache, and facial dark spots.
Off to my sister's this afternoon.
