magnolia wilsonii – pendulous blossom

I love to add a new plant to my repertoire, and today the sumptuous, blossom of the purest white with striking dark stamens grabbed my attention and I quickly snapped these pics. I identified the distinctive pendulous flowers to be Magnolia wilsonii and I’ll be trying to find a new scheme to plant one of these.
