Oooh La La, So Pretty in Pink!

It’s officially Magnificent Magnolia season at the SF Botanical Gardens! 🌸✨ The first couple trees are already showing off saucer-sized pink blooms!

🌸 Magnolia campbellii in the Camellia Garden, the oldest individual in our Magnolia collection, is a must-see. It’s already displaying a couple dozen elegant light pink blooms. Keep an eye on this beautiful tree for more stunning blooms at eye-level!

🌸 Between the Temperate Asia Garden and the Great Meadow, another M. campbellii is brightening up the Garden. This towering tree is easily accessible from the Main Gate entrance.

The SF Botanical Garden is home to 63 species and 49 cultivars of Magnolias, including a Magnolia campbellii tree, which was the first one of its kind to be planted in the United States back in 1940. Other Magnolia species include M. ‘Royal Crown,’ M. doltsopa, M. amoena, M. campbellii ‘Strybing White,’ M. denudata, and M. x alba.
