An open and a half-open flower of a Saucer Magnolia. In 2008 it had 10 blooms. In 2009 I counted 20 buds. Sofia, Bulgaria. Zone 6b

This is what the bloom looks like on the inside. It emits a heady smell that I don't like. Sofia, Bulgaria. Zone 6b

Ovaries..most are not fertilized and will be shed, only a few will carry seeds.. the pollen ripens later than the stamen and needs at least a temperature of 20 C

Beautiful specimen in zone 9b- Walt Disney World, FL. This was taken in April of 2010 after a cold/long winter- otherwise this far south, saucers can bloom as early as January.
