Celebrating one of the oldest trees on the planet, the magnificent magnolia. Magnolia trees are one of the first flowering plants to evolve on Earth, with fossils of the flowers indicating its existence 130 million years ago. The species is quite unique in that it has maintained the same genetic blueprint as it has adapted to a variety of temperate environments around the globe. The ecological resiliency and geographical adaptability of the tree is a great reminder of the sustainable living systems that are an intrinsic part of nature.
