Its finally blooming! Some of the flower buds were blasted by our -25F temperatures this winter, but the ones that made are showing off this week. This magnolia is still stunning! #horticulture #magnolia #soulangeana #spring #mightymagnolia #saucermagnolia #pinkflowers @iastate_cals @isuanrext #iowa365 #ia365
