Enjoy the beauty of magnolia! ⬆️
Welcome to Boston springtime. Stroll down Commonwealth Avenue to enjoy the sunny side of streets with over 100 magnolia trees in full bloom! These pink, purple, and white blossoms mark the end of each winter for the beginning of softer times. The name Magnolia first appeared in the Genera of Charles Plumier for a flowering tree from the island of Martinique in 1703. Originated from North America and Southeast Asia, magnolia usually grows on acidic soils that are rich in nutrients, and in areas that provide enough moisture and direct sunlight. Magnolias are pollinated in the wild by primitive wingless beetles, so thank these little creatures for keeping beauties alive. Don’t miss this beautiful view and plan a family trip to Boston this month!
⭐ Fun Fact: Magnolia is also a small village located on the Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts
