Jane Magnolia - planted by my neighbor - is blooming. She will bloom again, later in the year, with wonderful green leaves.
North Carolina US - Central part of the state--

I planted my Jane Magnolia 4 years ago to honor my twin granddaughters. They were born 2 months early, and one weighed only 2 pounds. For months as we traveled to visit them in the hospital, we passed the beautiful blooming Jane Magnolias that line the Atlanta neighborhoods. The girls finally were released from the hospital, and they are now thriving, just like their birthday tree. Thank you for sharing your photos.

@PeggyC, those would be nice images added to the entry!
