THE FLOWER 
THE SEED 
Magnolia grandifiora 
The great Bull Bay is a native ever¬ 
green which, when in a position it likes, 
sometimes reaches 80 feet, making a 
dark green pyramid on which will show, 
in places, the brown underside of some 
of the leaves. An impressive picture at 
any time, but when carrying its great 
white fragrant saucers, 7, 8, 9 and 10 
inches across, there just isn’t anything in 
the world to compare with it. The trees 
bloom three to four months in summer, 
over which long period one may enjoy 
these great creamy white saucers with 
their attractive stamen mass. The bloom 
is followed by oval seed-pods from 
which the brilliant red seeds protrude.
