amidal plant, more bushy and 
twiggy than M. stellata, blooms in 
great profusion two to four weeks 
later than that variety, thus escap- 
ing late freezes. The blooms are 
from 414 to 6 inches across, with 
20 to 30 petals. Buds are fiesh- 
pink and the open flower blush- 
pink. A distinct Magnolia origi- 
nated by Greenbrier Farms.
