| I have this growing in my zone 8 (SC) garden. I think it is some sort of Saucer Magnolia, which is often called a tulip tree where I live. This one is about 5 years old, and no more than 24". It has white flowers that have a rosy mark underneath each petal. It is currently blooming, but we have had an extraordinary warm winter. I am including pics of the entire plant and close ups of the buds and blooms.     |

| Yours may be some type of hybrid bred to remain short, possibly one of the star magnolia. Star Magnolia (Magnolia stellata 'Royal Star') Or maybe this one: Loebner Magnolia (Magnolia x loebneri 'Leonard Messel') Sunset Zone 28, AHS Heat Zone 9, USDA zone 8b~"Leaf of Faith" |

| Yep, thinking its a Magnolia stellata Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

| Leonard Messel has been a vigorous grower for me in California, and has grown more upright. I'd say 'Royal Star' is a good guess. When counting, try not to mix chickens with blessings. |
