Magnolia
MAGNOLIA-Sácholans are widespread in the temperate to tropical belt of Asia and America. They are found from China and the Himalayas to Japan and tropical Southeast Asia. Most species grow in East and Southeast Asia. Magnolia is an ornamental shrub and tree also widespread in the Caribbean. Only a few species are found in lowland rainforests. Magnolia, or Šácholan, is a large genus with about 210 species of plants. These shrubs or trees boast beautiful flowers. One of them is also shown on the flag of Mississippi.
Its origins can be found in East Asia, where it was used for its medicinal properties. But the interesting thing is that the magnolia genus developed before the appearance of bees. That is why its flowers are pollinated by beetles.
History: Fossilized specimens of Magnolia acuminata have been found in specimens 20 million years old.
Aroma: Magnolia flower offers a variety of scents available, from sweet candy to verbena, sour lemon, dusty violets and citrus honey. The most common scent is this sweet lemon floral scent.
