Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We had this lovely saucer magnolia on our catalog cover years ago and were too good at selling it as we sold every plant. Dumb, I had to go buy a large plant in Seattle. The flowers are huge white with a strong pink outside the tepals. M. ‘San Jose’ was named by the Clarke Nursery in San Jose, California.
