Oyama Magnolia

Walking the grounds of Brooklyn Botanic studying for ID tests has its perks. Susan and I may not have seen these beautiful Oyama Magnolia (Magnolia sieboldii) flowers otherwise. Depending on your rotation, you might not make it to any one area of the garden for a while. This shrub is blooming now in the Osbourne garden, to the west near the Eastern Parkway Entrance. Such a beautiful white flower. The bees must think so too.
