I recently learned that magnolias existed over 100 million years ago!

(Cretaceous period.)

They lived through the extinction of dinosaurs.

And, they are older than bees.

So, they are pollenated by beetles.

How cool is that?

These yellow magnolias are from Central Park.

They line the south edge of the lake near Cherry Hill and bloom after the white and pink magnolias do,

so, if you are a little late to the yearly party,

you can still catch them. 😉

Here’s a previous blog of yellow magnolias…

And here are some of pinks and whites…

Cheers!
