Magnolia grandiflora, commonly known as the southern magnolia or bull bay, is a tree of the family Magnoliaceae
native to the southeastern United States, from Virginia south to
central Florida, and west to eastern Texas and Oklahoma. Some trees have
been viewed as far west as New Mexico and California. Reaching 27.5 m
in height, it is a large striking evergreen tree with large dark green
leaves and large white fragrant flowers. Widely cultivated around the
world, over a hundred cultivars have been bred and marketed
commercially. The timber is hard and heavy, and has been used
commercially to make furniture, pallets, and veneer.

Always happy to see bees collecting nectar and pollinating flowers. Bees are so important to us.
