Oh the magnolia! Magnolia trees are more than just pretty faces (and the name of 70% of small businesses in Mississippi). These ancient beauties, dating back millions of years, have a unique toughness to them - a relic from a time when plant eating critters were more of a threat.
They aren't just survivors, they are cultural icons too! In many traditions, they symbolize purity and strength. They are painted into countless masterpieces and written into stories adding a bit of Southern elegance. When I look at a Magnolia, I think of it as a living link to the planet's past, a symbol of resilience, and a touch of grace in the natural world.
