Magnolia (Saucer and Star) in central Indiana

In central Indiana this means the deciduous spring-flowering magnolias, not the evergreen southern magnolia — and the defining fact is that it blooms before it leafs out, so a normal Indiana late freeze turns the entire display to brown mush overnight in many springs. The other thing that puts one on a quote is magnolia scale, which drips honeydew onto cars, decks, and driveways all summer long.
