Fun Facts: The history of the Magnolia tree starts millions of years ago. Actually Magnolia fossils date back to Tertiary period, 100 million years ago. This means that these tough trees have survived a number of different climate conditions throughout Earths history, which is why these trees grow fine naturally in various different countries around the world. As a result, magnolia blooms and leaves are very tough, and resist insect damage.
If you skip forward to the 7th century, Magnolias were naturally growing in China and Japan. In China the Jade Orchid Magnolia variety was a symbol of purity and became a popular tree to plant in temple gardens. Also, Magnolia trees were commonly grown in pots indoors in China and Japan.
Charles Plumier is credited for naming Magnolia trees because he named them after a French botanist, Pierre Mongol who passed in 1715. Once the name caught on and people studied the trees, the different varieties were recorded as different types of Magnolias as they were found in exotic locations and brought to different countries. Magnolia verities were brought to Europe and America from Asian countries, French islands, South America and more. Info provided by www.fast-growing-trees.com
This Magnolia tree was photographed at a farm in Lisbon, Maine late in the spring of 2017. After selecting this photo from my archives I decided to add a few layers of matching borders, a transparent frame that resulted in this contemporary styled floral art decor for the public to enjoy in celebration for this first day of Spring.
