YvonneL,
I would bet that the tree you are seeing is Magnolia soulangiana, also called the Saucer magnolia.

The picture below is of the flowers of a Saucer magnolia that is growing in Minneapolis, MN. This plant is of borderline hardiness here, but there are a few trees that have been here for many years (in just the perfect spot, I guess).

The color of the flowers will vary depending on the cultivar. The size and shape of the "tree" will also vary depending on the cultivar.

Do the flowers look like this?
