After the rainy season, under the moisture of the spring rain, all things in nature begin to wake up. Although it has been raining continuously recently, the warm and sunny weather in late February has finally triggered the switch for magnolia flowering. The magnolia bloom is a little later than usual, but it is still the most gorgeous scenery in spring.

The extra-red 'Wudang magnolia' is only a small part of the magnolia that has bloomed so far, and most of them are still in the early flowering stage. According to the weather forecast, combined with the phenological observation records of previous years, a small wave of flowers will be ushered in on March 5. Most magnolia and magnolia varieties will bloom intensively after March 10 when temperatures stabilize above 10. The Magnolia and Star Magnolia varieties usually open in late March. The yellow magnolia varieties are also in full bloom even later, and they can only be seen at the end of March.
