The magnolia grandiflora ‘Goliath’ continues to flower, but the blooms are near the top of the tree so I decided to pick one and bring it indoors where I could admire its beauty and fragrance close-up. It has been fascinating watching its slow metamorphosis from purest white perfection to parchment and beyond.
