The magnolia tree has been around for 100 million years and therefore symbolizes endurance, longevity, and perseverance. The world has endured a two-year pandemic that has altered our existence. With spring on the horizon and the hope for the end of the pandemic, the magnolia is the perfect symbol to represent our time as we approach our post-pandemic life. Like the magnolia flower, we raise our faces up towards the sun embracing the future with optimism.
