Description
A gentle breeze on the star magnolia petals has them softly dancing like flowing water. This is a closeup of a Magnolia stellata var. centennial star bloom. It's beautiful white flowers are accented with a touch of pink.
Magnolia stellata, sometimes called the star magnolia, is a slow-growing shrub or small tree native to Japan. It bears large, showy white or pink flowers in early spring, before its leaves open. This species is closely related to the Kobushi magnolia (Magnolia kobus), and is treated by many botanists as a variety or even a cultivar of that. However, Magnolia stellata was accepted as a distinct species in the 1998 monograph by Hunt.
