Often I heard that Magnolia has a wonderful aroma. What I found on the Internet about this wonderful plant. Evergreen slow-growing shrub or small tree, no more than 3-5 meters high. The leaves are alternate, up to 12 cm long and up to 5 cm wide, obovate or elliptical, entire, with a wedge-shaped base, leathery, dark green, lighter on the underside, Young branches and brown buds. Large, solitary, axillary flowers (up to 4 cm in diameter), each have 6 creamy yellow or pale purple wax petals with an elegant dark red border around the edge. Flowers exude an intense aroma of banana. Mass flowering occurs in spring, but individual flowers appear on the plant during the entire warm period, and when grown in indoor conditions - year-round. Fragrant flowers are widely used in perfumery and cosmetology.
