It is spring time in Savannah Georgia, many flowers are blooming.
We went around tourist place in downtown Savannah. My eyes catched beautiful purple color tree in front of old building named "Old Savannah Cotton Exchange."
I just loved it, they are grown for their beauty, the combination purple, pink and white color. They are known as Saucer Magnolia since the shape likes a saucer.
Magnolias are valued for their showy, fragrant flowers, deciduous or evergreen trees and shrubs.
Japanese Magnolia has originated in China however the name is assigned as the first trees imported to America were from Japan. This plant blooms in late winter or early spring.
