Like a slow and silent POP, the flower bud base at the top of a stem of a Magnolia Tree cracks open and begins to shed the outer layers just as the big, beautiful white bloom begins to swell and opens.
Magnolia grandiflora, commonly known as the Southern Magnolia is a beloved flowering evergreen tree of the Southeastern United States.
